I have 60 inch Hitachi TV with S-Video, Composite videoRCA cables and Y-Pr-Pb slots
I want to play games and watch movies on my big screen tv from my laptop.

If you just have the VGA output for you video card your going to have to buy a device that will convert that to s-video or composite to display on your tv.

I think now a days they also have devices that you can plug in to your USB ports but I not sure on that.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it

Check out the Avermedia Averkey LITE- plug n' play, I got mine yesterday and it works like a dream for movies etc. Just keep in mind these converters are no good for reading small text etc.

You'll love it, just remember that "plug n' play" isn't part of the name LOL ;)
