How can I connect my Acer Aspire One to my TV via s-video. Is there a connector I can buy? VGA to S-video?

The Acer Aspire One doesn't have a TV output, but if your TV is modern, it may have component inputs. If you have component inputs, then you can use a VGA to component convertor to output to the TV. You will need to set the video mode to something that will work on the TV, probably 640x480 at 60Hz If it is not an HDTV.

Amazon sells a number of converters to go form a computer's VGA output to the component in use by most TVs today: amazon.com/StarTech-VGA2CPNT-Component-V... If your TV only has S-Video, odds are that even if you use a converter, the quality on the TV will be poor - my experience using S-Video outputs from PCs is that the TV is just a blurry mess, you can't really even read text very well, and media looks like crap. Maybe the converter box will work better than the direct outputs I have experience with, but I honestly don't think that would be the case. Here's a converter box that will make it easy, but the quality will be limited by the TV and S-Video input: http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-VGA2NTSCPRO-gh-Resolution-Converter-Control/dp/B00006B8EH/ref=pd_cp_e_2?pf_rd_p=413863501&pf_rd_s=center-41&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000G6Y0S6&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1D0SNBQSS0D1XTBY3K4N So, you do have some options, but no guarantees on the quality level that you will get unless you have an HDTV.

I have the Aspire One. Other than buying an expensive converter box, I have hooked my laptop to a bigger Computer monitor VGA-to VGA and displays the movies, etc just as it would on my flat screen. My computer monitor is 19", so works fine for me.

Those VGA to RCA cables are intended for video cards with a special VGA port that can also output a TV signal. It will NOT work with just any VGA port. The Aspire One's VGA port is NOT one of those special ones.

That's why it doesn't work. If you want to connect your Aspire One's VGA port with a TV, the TV must have a VGA input. onlinenotebook.com/category/acer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
