    Hi,

    I just got my new Dell Vostro 1500 notebook. Can someone help me to find out how I can see my Vostro`s screen at my TV to watch movies and images, etc?

    Depends on what connector(s) you have on your machine, you can either use vga, s-video or hdmi.

    I use Svideo, once you plug in the svideo to your lappie you hold down the 'fn' button and hit 'f8'. that will pull up the menu to transfer the data between screens. Just choose the TV option and there ya go.
