Can I connect my laptop to a TV for watching DVDs?
It depends on the laptop, and the TV.
Many laptops have an s-video out connection, and almost all TVs these days should have an s-video in. The quality will only be will be so-so. So, you need the appropriate cable to connect the two together. Of course your laptop needs to have a DVD drive and the appropriate DVD software.
If you have an HDTV and your laptop has a DVI out, then you can possibly hook up that way. Most HDTVs will have HDMI which can interface with DVI with an adaptor. That would be your best bet if you have the hardware. The picture will be better.
