you can use s-video if you laptop got it

looks like component video synchronization signal for both vertical and horizontal

just use s-video or composite video

to use HDMI or component, you need to spend more money to buy converter

HDMI to component video converter, US$200

ps3 cable is not HDMI but a proprietary socket unique to PS2/3, it should hook into ps2/3 's "AV multi out"


hdmi is digital, component video is analog, digital hdmi need to go through some sort of electronic circuit to convert from digital into analog signal

about hdmi to avi cable, it is only good for old LCD monitor, new monitor now equipped with HDMI input

dvi to component like this


my guess is that it is for DVI-I (integrated, digital & analog)

no good for HDMI which as I said before, is digital, there is no electronic circuit to do conversion

what you really need is to buy something like HDfury2 for converting from digital HDMI to analog component-video, or replace your crt TV with HDTV or LCD monitor with HDMI input port, search the net I think there are cheaper alternative, but HDfury2 is the best

in fact, I just bought a samsung b2230H, 22" LCD monitor for RM550 at the pc fair, this monitor has 3 video input(hdmi+dvi+vga) with audio out
