DVD movie on T43p to TV

#1 Post by Teerex » Mon Mar 20, 2006 1:36 pm

There's no S-video out on the T43p.

Is it possible to connect via a different cable to a TV, perhaps a scart plug?


Thanks

Yeah, i'm also disappointed IBM had left out S-Video from T43p model:

Anyways, here are 2 recent forum threads about solutions to no S-Video output situation:

Well, I'm typing this on my T43p and looking at the S-Video port on the left side of the notebook between the USB ports and the modem jack.

Try an VGA to RCA cable. Picture quality is certain to suck (compared to real composite progressive scan or SVideo).

So why is there no S-Video output on the T43p again? I am pretty sure that all T43ps have it as it is the same chassis as the T43 and the entire T4X Series. :?
