Thinkpad to TV

#1 Post by Meta03 » Fri Oct 29, 2010 12:29 pm

I would like to play movies from my T61 to a TV set. Is this possible and if yes, what is required?

Sure it's possible. What kind of input does your TV have? That will determine what cables and/or converters you may need.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

The TV has a S-Video and RGB inputs. Is it just a matter of getting a cable?

Do you mean component? Three RCA jacks? If that's the case, you will need a transcoder something like this.
