What way of connecting my laptop to my TV would give the best picture quality ?

Question

I have a new TV and want to play video clips that I have on my laptop through my TV. The laptop has VGA and S-Video outputs and the TV has HDMI, Scart, Component and VGA inputs.

What way would produce the best picture quality on screen ?

Answer 1

Trust me whether you use hdmi or scart or component the quality won't change because scart and s-video have the same quality and becuase having a hdmi ending connection won't make your image high definition only a high definition graphic card can do that and it will supply you with a hdmi connector. If your laptop had a dvi connection  you would get a  better picture than from either vga or s-video. So you might as well use a scart as it won't make a difference.

Hope this helps.

If Possible, HDMI which is like the uber best!

But, If not,

Check the back of your tv.

Is it a VGA connection? VGA Plug Looks Like:

If it is VGA, you need a VGA cord like this:

then connect it to your tv and you should be ready to go.

Is it a S-Video Connection? S-Video Connection looks like:

use a vga cable then right click and go to properties on your desktop so that you can mess about with the resolution and change settings you should get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm headphone style jack plug to put the sound through your tv as well. it should be beside the vga on the tv. hope this helps

HDMI. The sound quality is really hi-def, and the picture is just amazing. You can also adjust the settings on your laptop and your TV to make it look stunning.
