That usb will be either for playback of files on pen drive or for sky egineer.

You can buy a scart to hdmi upscaler, never tried one myself. I know this one is £50, just posting for info. If you look around can get it cheaper.

A panel TV can only ever show at its native resolution and has a built in scaler so that anything not at native will be rescaled and deinterlaced.

Depending on the tv a £50 scaler may do a better job than the built in one but I doubt it would for any branded set.

System

again op?

you might have the connections you need but it's impossible to tell with the info provided

no point in spending 40 quid on something that you might be able to do with a more simple solution

What ports are actually on the laptop. You said no HDMI but does it have VGA or DVI ports?



(Left to right: HDMI, VGA, DVI)

I wouldn't bother with one of those USB adaptors, everyone I know who has had one complains about them, either limited resolution or display lag being the most common complaints.
