#1 Post by grafix » Wed Nov 14, 2007 3:45 am

Hi.
I have ThinkPad T61p with Quadro FX570M - 256 MB

My model don't have s-video out. (I have only analog monitor out)

How I can watch movies and play games in TV .
Its any hardware to plug in this monitor out ?

You can get a VGA to DVI cable if your TV has a DVI port. Also some TVs have a VGA port, so with a simple VGA cable you would be allset. Also you can search for PC to TV converters, they come in all type of ports even HDMI.
Current Thinkpad:
X200t -- Win7 64, C2D 1.87Ghz -- 4Gb Ram -- Hitachi 300Gb HDD
T61 -- Vista Ult 32 -- C2D 2.2Ghz -- Hitachi 7k200 200Gb -- 3 Gb Ram

Haven't used one.

I will be in the market for one soon though. I just got my T61 and will need to connect it to my TV when basebal season starts next year so I can watch games from MLB.TV.

There are several threads on this issue. Search for TV out and search for S-Video in the T6x series forum. Be sure and tick the radio button: "Search for all terms".
