my old laptop dell inspiron 1000 didnt have an s-video/rca out, in order for me to have a dual display, i had to get the maxview pc to tv converter, im not sure ( i'm not a compter wiz..) if having a converter is taking the video out of the vga..but thats the only way i could have the dual display.

It might be cheeper to add a $50.00 video card to the computer. Use the built in for the primary display, and the new one for the s-video display as the extended desktop.

That may not work for this one....case looks awfully small and may not have slots available.

Guys, I'm not very knowledgable about that sort of thing, but to get my HP laptop to work...to toggle between monitor/tv to both...ya gotta find the button with fn on it at the lower left side of the keyboard (under the shift button on mine) and press the F4 key(it has a pic of a monitor on it) at the same time...THEN it will show/toggle to the tv...tv only...or monitor and tv............

Trying to get it to show by going thru Control Panel produced NO results...until I found this little shortcut.

Hope this helps...............

He is working with a desktop not a laptop, so Fn keys don't apply.

Your right you weren't paying attention.....no slot to add one!! IT's an HP Slimline which is a very small case.
