    Is there any way of having the SZ120 outputting to a TV (RCA or S-Video input) through the VGA connection? Does it need a TV-out driver? At the moment the only option is to connect a monitor through the VGA.

    I have BX series and I got one of those VGA-out cable with a Svideo connector on the other end. I hooked it up to my TV and the laptop picked it up as a monitor. Extended my desktop to tv but all I get is a flickering black and white image on the TV screen. I think I will need one of those converters mentioned above, unless someone has a fix for what I'm getting.

    I have tried one of those VGA to S-Video/RCA cables and they don't work with the SZ 120. Is this because the SZ 120 does not have a TV-Out through its VGA but only a Monitor out? Can someone please answer this?

    Have you ever try to change the color system? NTSC PAL SECAM ?
    Can you take a picture of that cable.

    Now I'm using a little converter box. The price is 25 USD. It's very cheap!!!
