    I have a question regarding my video card's TV-Out capabilities. Here is the video card I have:



    My television supports RCA, CVI, and S-VHS inputs. My question is, what cable would be the best to get the signal across from my laptop to my television? Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, something messed up with the html coding in my post. It was supposed to say RCA, CVI, and S-VHS. All I'm really looking for is what cable will play video from my computer to my television. Just in case this is needed... the back of my laptop:

    The link to my video card is here:

    What kind of cable must I use to either hook-up to my television via RCA or CVI? Thank you in advance.

    Again: CVI is better than SVHS is better than RCA. Any of them will connect to a TV if you have the adapter cables. CVI would be the best by far, it supports 1080i video.

    Yes, but what connectors would be on each end? Obviously CVI into the television as you have stated, but is it a VGA component out of the back of the laptop or something else? Thanks for your help.
