I have just purchased a Samsung R610 Laptop, it has a HDMI port and a VGA port (a female port-requiring a male VGA cable). I would like to use my blue ray player on the laptop and view it on my 4 year old Toshiba 32WLT58 TV in HD. The Toshiba has a S-Video port (a female port requiring a male cable) and three RCA ports- red, green and blue (female ports requiring male cable inputs). I could not find a HDMI port on my TV, I think the newer versions have one. I was going to buy a VGA to RCA cable (3 cables) but after I read the specification and I decided not as it said that my Samsung would have to have a VGA card and a TV out facility which I do not think it has. Can anyone advise me what cable and or adapter to buy and if you know of a supplier, preferably in the UK.
Thanks, Paffley

I would start by looking through the products at Maplin since they are electronics specialists.
UKDVDR also have a good selection of cables.

Wow do the R610's in the UK have blu-ray drives? Kind of a waste on a 16" 1366x768 screen imo, but that's neither here nor there.
Anyways, I guess you could try a VGA to component converter, but I don't know if that'd work. HDMI is probably the only way to go, but since your TV doesn't have any HDMI inputs, then you're kinda out of luck in this case. -
