    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.

    I am sorry, I didn't meant that. I forgot to add word "request" before my thread, and i couldn't able to edit the subject, where I want to clearly mean that its seeking a suggestion but not giving the solution. sorry for that.

    I tried the VGA>Component cable adapter, didn't work. Hopefully someone one day will come out with a simple PCI express video card that has basic video out and enough grunt to handle movies.

    BTW, IBM has now solution for TV-Out with T60. This is straight from tabook:

    ThinkPad Advanced Dock 47 250310U ann 09/20/05
    ThinkPad Advanced Dock supports dual-head graphics adapter
    ATI X1300LE 256MB Dual Head/TV-out part number 41U5028

    Unfortunately it will cost you over $500.
