    I'm a total noob, so please bear with me. Can anyone tell me what kind of cable(s) I will need to connect my dv6500t to my television? It's an old TV, so I don't need HD or anything like that.

    Thanks!

    In oder to be able to connect a laptop to a TV, the TV most have an S-Video Input port. And if your TV have one then you will need a S-Video cable, in case you don't have one.

    if its a really old tv, you might need something to convert S video into RCA
