Will a 4 Pin S Video fit in a 7 Pin Port?

Question

I have a laptop with a 7 pin S Video port.

My HDTV has a 4 pin port.

Will a regular 4 pin S Video cable work to be able to view my laptop screen on the TV?

Also if i can, can u tell me what I have to do to my computer. (Like change display settings, how to detect, or any steps.

Answer 1

Not at all trying to be a smart *** but why would a FOUR pin port fit into a SEVEN pin port and it works. That makes no sense!

Answer 2

You will need an adapter. You can probably find that at Radio Shack or online somewhere. Keep in mind, the more connections you add can degrade video quality.
