Using my TV as a monitor for my Laptop

Hi there

I have a Packard Bell Easynote and all it has are USB Ports and a VGA port. The TV is a JVC and has scart at the back and 3 coloured jack ports on the side. Red, yellow and white - not sure if the colours are significant.

Is there anyway of doing this with what I have got?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

    It a short answer answer I would say no, some laptops to have a TV out so double check that.

    It would be possible if extra money, but I am assuming your TV is standard def to which the picture wouldn't be very good anyway.

  • without a tvOUT on the laptop the picture is going to be quite poor, if you had a better TV then that would make things alot easyer as some are designed to have laptops etc attatched to them.

    btw the colours are as so.,.
