but if you can get it for $26, please let us know where! This one comes from www.svideo.com, and they have some good tutorials for the novice kj (newbies).

Most of the newer laptops (video cards) don't support s-video anymore, I found that most newer, high-end laptops are supporting direct connection to hdmi port from computer to hdmi port on HD Tv's, such as plasma's, and lcd's, and led's. Good source for cable's ( rca, s-video, and now hdmi ) is www.monoprice.com, as they are very competitively priced, and ship very fast...

that's what i got ,i got it for $26.00 from www.monoprice.com, (now that you mentioned it), i have 3 Dell optiplex sx280 workstation pc and it has no s-video out just vga , this came with a y adapter from vga to vga/hdmi cable ( white )..and the LKV2000 worked with these pc's..

Billyo,
It has all the right connections to make it work, I hope it works! I just need to connect my external monitor from my laptop and then an audience TV.
They had another one called Maxview which you could hook up to an external monitor and two TV's! That one was about $159 or so. I don't need all that though. I figure once I get it out to at least one tv, I could split it to other tvs (if needed) with a regular RCA splitter. $32.95 was an okay price to pay that's about what you pay for a RF modulator. I haven't had to use a modulator for years since they start putting the RCA jacks on tvs. Thanks for your help. I tried looking for one of these earlier this week and couldn't find one because I did not know what it was called! Sure makes a difference when you know the name or model! I appreciate your help very much!

i have maxview too, you're probably talking about the studio type maxview which cost $159, the one i have is just a regular maxview pc to tv converter ( white & blue ) i paid $99. but that was a while back this one will work with a pc/laptop that doesn't have an s-video out, you don't need a y-cable once you got the LKV 2000, you can hook-up 3 lcd/tv monitors as long as they have all the 3 inputs ( rca/s-video and vga ) i have a 52" lcd flat screen tv that i use whenever i have a gathering over my house and this adapter works great, and also a 19" lcd/tv/monitor in my garage that i use just to learn new songs using these adapters are great.rf adapter is a pain in the butt to use and usually that is used for old tv, these cables are to stiff and i have never used one..

these adapters are made for stationary use, you need to get a male to female s-video adapter ( if you used the s-video input ) they tend to break easy they are so brittle, just plug the m/f adapter to the s video input and leave it plugged in, when done playing just pull the s-video cable out.
