lol get an s-video lead and plug it into the laptop and then into the s-video on the tv.
if the tv does not have an s-video get a scart plug with a s-video in slot on it.

Assuming the scart supports it, otherwise get an s-video to composite converter.

S-video lead into that, phono from that into a scart adapter and take sound into that too

SVHS looks blurry but if you want to watch films on your TV from your Laptop then its fine. Must be something to do with the resolution but I used to watch filsm on my TV and it was just like watching a DVD.

Then what i said would work fine! Would be worth checking to see if any of your scarts support s-video? What tv do you have?
