my questions are,
should I expect the inspiron to have TV out? (doesn't really say in the manual)
and which cable should i Buy? VGA to S-Video?
The inspiron should have S-Video and VGA outputs. To hook up the inspiron to the tv you'll need an S-Video to composite (yellow) adapter, a yellow composite cable and a 3.5mm (headphone jack connector) to composite (male, red and white). If the inspiron does not have s-video connector, you'll want to get a vga to composite adapter and the 3.5mm to rca adapter.
