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.

    S-Video is a video interface. It carries video signals from one device to another.
    The HEL80 has an S-Video output on the back side. You usually use it connect to a CRT TV which does not have VGA or DVI inputs. However, S-Video is very low resolution which is not high enough to use for a primary monitor. Only use S-Video perhaps for watching films and maybe gaming, but both would be better on your laptop monitor.
