    Hi. I got my m1330 and I was thinking about how I might be able to get it to do tv-out. I know I can use hdmi and vga, but I was wondering if (with the nVidia dedicated graphics card) it would be possible to do tv-out to older tvs, through something like s-video or composite. I know you can adapt hdmi to one of those, but those are big, expensive and don't work very well. I was wondering if anybody knew if the graphics card can accept a vga->s-video connector (so it's only changing the shape and not the actual signal) like Macs can, or if there's any other practical way. Is it worth trying to get one of those and testing it, or is there any way I might get it to work? Thanks.

    ^^ Thanks! :) Didn't even think to check on eBay for that.

    I'm probably going to pick one up eventually as I think it would be handy to have.

    Well, I was talking about those but I wasn't sure if it would work with the m1330's video card. Has anybody tested it out or should I just get a cheap one and give it a go?
