You must have a video card that either:\n-have RCA adaptors in the back of PC to connect to TV\n-DVI connection in the back for HD TV\n-S-VHS VIVO (video in/video out) adaptor to connect to TV\n-S-VHS to HDTV adaptor \n\nOtherwise you can't.

If your laptop has an available PCMCIA slot, you could use a PCMCIA TV Tuner Card.  Its so much more portable than a USB tuner, and you won't have to plug in your TV tuner or pull it out whenever you want to pack up your laptop. You could just leave it in its slot.\n\nAnd about Internet TV - THEY'RE DIFFERENT from regular TV that are broadcasted via air/cable. Sure there are several thousand Internet TV stations, but these are just from small studios with programs and shows that you'd be unfamiliar with, a lot is in foreign language. Programs broadcasted via air are usually not available in Internet TV

I don't think so ususally laptops do not have video inputs, so all you can display on the laptop screen is the laptop output. Sorry!

There are plenty of choices out there. A good one is ATI TV Wonder for desktops and TV Wonder USB2 for both laptops and desktops. u can find a review here http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/wonderusb/\nand most electronic retailers (Circuit City, Best Buy, etc) carry it. Ebay is also good.

LCD TV is for u. Or u can just buy any regular computer LCD and attach an external TV Tuner box to it.

Make sure that you have it connected before windows boots up or the machine is on, then turn your computer on so that the machine detects the tv as a plug and play device.\n\nAlso your machine should have an Fn key and I believe it is F5 that will switch between displays. You can also go to advanced display properties ( right click on desktop --> properties --> Display tab --> Advanced properties ) In there , there should be a tab for swapping between a first display and a secondary display. Obviously configure your tv settings to be what they should be etc.\n\nSome articles I found by doing a google search :\n\nhttp://www.smartcomputing.com/Editorial/article.asp?article=articles/2004/w1510/18w02/18w02.asp&guid=\n\nhttp://www.weethet.nl/english/video_connect_pc2tv.php\n\nhttp://www.svideo.com/compaq1700.html\n\nThose should get you started and pointed in the right direction :)

If the laptop will start then you have at least two options.\n\nThe first option is to use an external monitor.  Connect the monitor to the back of the laptop before powering it on.  The laptop should automatically detect the monitor.  If not then there may be a special key combination to make it work.  For example, on my HP laptop it is function-F4.\n\nThe other option is to use remote access software like Windows Remote Desktop Sharing.  Follow the link below for instructions on how to configure it remotely.\n\nHope this helps.

Funny, because I just did some research on this tring to hook up my PS2. Anyway, you can just buy a VGA converter. They should be available at your local Radio Shack or other store that might carry wires/parts. Instead of plugging the monitor into your computer, you would plug it into the adaptor and then plug the cable in on the other side. This saves you the money of buying a TV card as well, but you could get it if you want that nice TiVo effect with Media Center. However, TV tuners can be annoying because there is a considerable amount of delay, which makes them not-so-great for plugging in a gaming system..

Different computers have different outputs, and TVs have different inputs.  Mac's have an adapter that comes with the computer, PowerBooks have an s-video out that can be plugged into some higher-end equipment.  Most Windows boxes have a VGA out that you will need an adapter for.\n\nAlso, make sure you know how to switch your computers output so the video signal goes down the wire to your tv and not just to the computer screen...

Greetings,\n\nIf you have a video card with TV-Out, connect the TV-Out cable to your video card, then other end to your TV. Make sure the TV and Computer (optionally) are turned off, since they're both running on electric power and a simple spark could render your graphic card useless.

Normally no.  You can purchase a TV Tuner card for your PC for under $50, some for under $30.  Then you can hook up either a cable TV connection, or a air broadcast antenna.  \n\nDoing this you'd also be able to record to your computer.  some of the programs allow you to do many of the things Tivo does.\n\nAvermedia and Hauppauge both make excellent TV Cards.

if it has the inpuit, then it should have the neccessary softwares for that. a usually laptop have s-video out, until you have a TV-turner or something

FIRST..Is the PC "input" to allow it's use as a monitor?  If yes, then it is "one-way" only, and would not work as you are suggesting. Considering it's use as a monitor, your graphics card should suffice. (Many non-tech people have trouble with "input" and "output" as to which is which.)\n\nIf it IS a two way connection, (such as USB, Firewire, etc.) there would HAVE to be some software for the PC, and an appropriate connecting cable.\n\nWithout seeing the set and the manual, I am guessing that it is set up to work as a monitor as this is quite common.  This is primarily so that "media center" units and those with "TV" cards can use the bigger screen for output, (like a bigger monitor.)

if you want to show what's on your computer on your tv screen, you need to have a s-video outlet on your computer and tv.

i don't know what that HP laptop costs, but when i see those specifications i would suggest once to have a look at the Dell E1505 with the Core Duo processor. i'm pretty sure you can customize it with the same specs (inclusive the TV card) at a lower price.
