First of all, sorry if this is in the wrong forums. So, I would like to connect either one of these computers to my TV. Note that the desktop would require a wireless connection.
Desktop Outputs: DVI, HDMI, MDP
Laptop Output: VGA
TV/VCR Inputs: RCA, SVideo, RGB
So as you can see, noyhing is in common, and there are way too many types of video connectors XD.
Anyway, what's the cheepist (or free) way to do this?
One other thing I would like to say is that I have an old, slow Windows XP desktop that has SVideo out, and I can use that to connect to the TV. It is not fun to use, but if there is some way to use it as, say, a remote desktop client (I have yet to find one with decent speed even across intranet) that would work too. Side note that I tried Ubuntu on it but it doesn't work because Ubuntu hates the graphics card. Any suggestions?
