I'm looking for a way to connect my laptop to my TV so I can watch Netflix on it. My 8-yr-old Venturer TV does have an "S Video" and a "VGA monitor" input along with several RCA ports; the standard video and audio inputs which you'd use for DVD player or game. There is an "S-video" port and a "VGA monitor" multi-pin input. Should I get a multi-pin to multi-pin cable and hook it to the matching inputs on both devices? My apologies if my verbiage isn't up to date--I'm 54-yrs-old and still miss my 8-track player from my high school days and the only cables I've used on a regular basis are RCA's. I have a 29" newer TV with an HDMI input but wanted to use the older TV for Netflix so I don't have to patch and re-patch all of the time. Thanks for your advice!
