The best PC to TV solution depends a lot on what kinds of connections your TV and computer have. If your computer and TV both have VGA ports the best solution is simply a VGA cable. If your computer has DVI or HDMI on it and your TV has HDMI on it you can simply use a cable to go from one to the other. If your computer has VGA and your TV has component i would recommend the PC to HDTV converter, part SW-4280. That item will convert the VGA signal to an HD component signal for use on your HDTV. Another option would be to go from the VGA port on the laptop to the HDMI port on the TV. You could use an analog to digital signal converter like the DVI to HDMI cable to go from the scaler to the TV.View More Questions
