TV as 2nd Monitor

[jdechko]

Does anyone know if its possible to use the S-Video (and/or Composite Vid) output on a PowerBook to connect to a tv to use as a second monitor?

-or another way-

Is it possible to span to a tv using S-Video out?

Thanks

Yah, you just need to buy a mini-dvi to video adaptor.

So does this also include the ability to extend the PB's desktop to a tv (ie: a dual monitor setup)?

I think he was talking about the S-Video out port not using the DVI with adapter.

Yep, i do this all the time to watch DIVx on my TV... you can either CLONE the display (where both screens are indentical) or have a Dual display.. but bear in mind that the TV will have a much smaller resolution and everything will look HUGE. :)

You can buy a scart adapter which has a S-video input and sound input.
