Using external display devices

Using external display devices
Your computer comes with a built-in LCD display, but you
can also connect three different types of external display
devices to one of two available video ports:
A television via the S-video port
A video display device, such as a video projection unit,
via the S-video port
An external monitor or projector via the RGB (monitor)
port
Connect a television, video projector, monitor, or other
display device to your computer and then configure your
computer for the type of device you are connecting. The
following sections describe how to do this in detail. Also,
refer to the documentation for your operating system and
devices.

Connecting the display device

If you are connecting a television or other video display
device to the computer's S-video port, first refer to the next
two subsections.
If you are connecting an SVGA monitor, skip to
an external monitor or projector" on page
Selecting video cables
To connect a device to the S-video port, you must purchase an
S-video cable. For the best video quality, always use a
properly shielded cable.
Using a poor quality cable may result in a dull or fuzzy
picture, poor color, ghosting, video noise, or loss of video.
HINT: Toshiba recommends using a cable no longer than
20 feet (approximately 6 meters).
