My laptop, a Dell Inspiron, has a TV S type outlet and a converter wire to RCA video. To get it to work, I must use BIOS setup to enable output to this port. Once enabled, the Fn-F8 combination toggles among Laptop, TV, or both. My computer has a DVD drive. I've tried to play a movie on the big TV. It worked, but the pleasure wasn't worth the effort.
