Hi,

I have a budget for my apartment and I want to buy a tv. My coteacher has bheen to Hi Mart and several LG and Samsung stores. I only have 300,000 won in my budget left. All the store people have told us that we cannot connect analog tvs to laptop. Is this true?? I thought all tvs are able to do that....as long as the tv can connect to dvds and other media...laptop shouldn't be a problem?? The store people were very adamant that analog tvs cannot do this. I don't even know what an analog tv is...I think they were just pushing us to buy their higher end TVs that I cannot afford. Help is needed. Please let me know if any tv is able to connect to my laptop. (I have the cables to connect them already btw). Had a super old tv at my old apartmetn and it worked just fine.

If someone can tell me where to buy a really nice tv (that can connect to my laptop) for under 300,000 please let me know. Links are ok as well Thanks!

Yes, of course you can. Just do it the same way that you did with your old tv. The two main ways are to have an s-video to component (or is it composite, never keep 'em straight) splitter that leaves you with the red, white, and yellow A/V cable connections. Or, just use a s-video cable if the tv has an s-video connection.

HiMart's not bad for price, maybe look for a second hand shop or in the buy/sell forum if the budget is getting thin.

well I have the cables to connect but the sales rep keep saying analog tvs aern't capable of connecting. Only HD or higher end tvs are...and those cost around 600,000 or more. I only have a budget of 300,000. So...analog tvs...or any tv would work right?? I just dont want to watch movies or shows on my laptop..

make sure theyre not mistaking it for using the TV as a monitor to work from, you can conenct it, watching movies etc will be fine. they probably think u wanna do word processing or some crap.

IT WILL WORK - DONT LISTEN TO THEM

Thanks guys! I thought so too. I told them specifically I only wanted to watch my movies on a bigger screen. Well I told my coteacher any analog tv will work so she's going to order it today and have it delivered to my home. Thanks!!
