Laptop to TV

This is the tv: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5652237

It does not have the VGA input. Looks like it may mean a $30 converter. Any other options? Thanks.

OK, your point????? It is actually my g/f's and they are running crappy cable through it so no need for a high quality unit. What do you all think about this: http://cgi.ebay.com/VGA-to-RCA-S-Video-Adapter-Cable-Converter-for-PC-TV_W0QQitemZ180214591265QQihZ008QQcategoryZ41999QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

vga to hdmi converter

Idk why people buy TVs from walmart you can get brand name high quality ones for the same price just by researching 5 minutes on the internet...

# HDMI, component video, S-video, composite video

Considering the inputs, vga to hdmi is your only option.

I am not fond of Wal-mart electronics. However, it was good pricing, plus employee discount, and with no need for true HD, no big deal with that one.

probably going to have to go with vga>dvi>hdmi since i don't believe they make vga>hdmi

yeah typically you use hdmi, vga, or svideo. so since you dont have those you might can get a pcmcia card for video output if that even exists....

-Get an IV needle and some surgical tubing (ok, not your usual household stuff, but get it anyway).

-Call all your friends and family to say good bye.

-Lock yourself in the bathroom

-Start your IV in your leg (femoral artery works best) and connect tubing.

-Now (here's the tricky part) feed the open end of the tubing down the toilet drain till it goes past the trap.

-Now take a deep breath and flush the toilet.

-You'll be gone before you can fully exhale.
