    I am considering a D630 or D830, however only the D830 has the svideo port.

    How can I connect my Laptop to my LCD TV without it?

    Is there a thread with a complete review with pictures on the D630? i couldnt find one that still had the pics loaded.

    Thanks

    It has VGA, which you can connect to a LCD TV.

    If the TV doesn't have a VGA port, there are inexpensive VGA-to-S-Video adapters you can buy (search google). I have no idea how much this affects picture quality.

    The port replicator has an S-video out (and the dock too I think?). Could that work?

    Second that question on whether we can still use the s-video out on the D-port replicator?
