connecting a t61 to a lcd tv

hi i recently bought a lcd tv and i want to connect my t61 to it but the tv only has hdmi ports and the t61 only has vga, what are some other options i have

 

You can get the advanced mini dock that has DVI out put and then get a DVI to HDMI cable.

 

Check out monoprice.com. They have really cheap cables, I think they have DVI to HDMI cables. But since T61 only has a VGA port, I think you may also need a VGA to DVI adapter. For me, I just hooked up VGA to VGA on my television with a 3.5" mm male to male cable for sound. Hope this helps.

It sounds like the advanced mini dock is your best bet. You can find it for about $150 new (check Amazon's alternative sellers), or less on eBay. I was fortunate, my Aquos LC-52D92U came with a DVI-I input, so I was able to connect my T61p to it with only a VGA-to-DVI adapter. It looks great up to about 1400x1050 resolution...higher resolutions start producing tiny jaggies. Don't bother trying to connect VGA directly to HDMI, though...HDMI is a digital signal. DVI-I is neat in that it can also accept an analog VGA signal.

 

thanks a lot forgot about the dock, however it is a little too expensive, are there any express card adapters i could buy or is that too slow to output video?

 

I think there are some VGA to S-video/RCA cables out there, if anybody could provide some more info on this I would appreciate it as well as op (I think).

It's too bad that displays on such a low resolution. I was hoping for 1080p
Looks like DVI to HDMI might be the only way. Oh and yes I just realized I said vga hence no 1080p.
