Video cables connecting laptop to big screen TV

Note that SVideo Out will only give you SDTV resolution. It can be quite watchable (I wouldn't want to web surf at that resolution, but watching videos in full screen mode is quite acceptable, especially if they were of decent resolution to start with).

If your computer has HDMI out and you have a high definition television, you're golden, particularly if your TV does 1080P. You can run your computer at your TV's native resolution and get a really sharp picture.
