I see some VGA cables that go to RCA, HDMI and S-Video, but I'm not sure which I need. I've read some stuff online saying that some cables will work for video output, but won't work for tossing my desktop on the TV. In short, I'm confused.
So with just a VGA port on my laptop, how can I get my desktop and apps to show up on my TV screen?
Yes, I see those large LCD TVs in new or updated hotel rooms and my Thinkpad has VGA output only as well.
I think you want one of these:
