The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    You already know the answer, just as the port name suggested, S-Video. What I used is a standard S-Video cable, with a component Video converter, and it works great but only analog TV at SD resolution (< 1024 x 765). Also, you can do a search on this forum, someone manage to purchase the Dell S-Video adapter that support Digital Audio and composite output, and he can do 1080i with no problem.
