    Hi Everybody,

    I had recently ordered Thinkpad T60 which will not have any TV-out or S-video out, it only has a VGA out.(i know it before I have ordered, so no regrets on it). But I just curious to find out a solution to hook up my laptop to a TV to watch movies or slide shows etc either through S-video out or composite cables out. I believe this is only forum which has master minds to suggest any technical hardware solution. I request every one to suggest any solutions for this problem.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Does anyone know what the max res of the VGA output is on the T60 - I would presume its a function of the video card (so the max res of the ATI X1400?)

    I would look at docking stations--Lenovo offers several solutions that will give you the ports you need.

    I am going to get a VGA to HDMI converter: that way, I can view the TV at SXGA+ (my TV is 1080i :D)
