Connecting an Adv mini dock to a Samsung LCD screen

#1 Post by smara » Wed Jul 25, 2007 6:37 am

First of all I'd like to say hello to all of you.

I've been browsing around your forum quite a lot in the past month to help me decide the next Thinkpad that is going to replace my T40. Based on different opinions and my necessities I opted for a T60p 14".

I'm also purchasing an advanced mini dock to connect my LCD TV when I go back home.

I'm wondering what's the best way to connect to it? (I have 3 HDMI sockets on TV)

Shall I use the DVI to HDMI cable (is the audio included, or I have to use some composites?) or simply a VGA one?

Help would be greatly appreciated.

all the best

If you've got HDMI/DVI on your TV, definitely use it!

I bought a $7 DVI -> HDMI 10' with gold terminals from monoprice.com and it works like a charm.

digital to digital for best results, so DVI to HDMI
570 --> T20 --> T40 --> T43 --> T61 (4:3) --> T400 -->T420 --> T440p + X240

what about audio signal , is it carried over the HDMI/DVI cable or separately?
