Laptop to TV

Component seems to be better for me than composite if HDMI, VGA, or DVI is not available. But you will most likely not notice too big of a difference. If there is no component connector on your laptop, you will need get a converter from the output on your laptop to the input of the TV. You will need an active adapter for DVI or HDMI to Component or Composite because one is digital and the other is analog.

My TV inputs include:
A front panel composite (Video + Audio L & R) + composite & component rear connections

My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A665-S5184X
Part No. PSW6U-00E024
The laptop ports are: 4 USB, 1 VGA & 1 HDMI

It would be better to use a VGA to Component cable since you will not lose quality since they both use analog. If you use an HDMI to Component adapter, you may lose a bit of quality if the adapter is not good. And, a VGA to Component is cheaper.

It should, since since both are analog, unlike HDMI, which would need a converter box.
