Using a Television as a Monitor
I think that I can use my television as a monitor at home for my laptop, but am not sure of the connection and set-up details I want to be able to watch catch-up stuff from BBC I-Player on a proper screen. TV is a new Panasonic 46", Full HD. Laptop is a Sony Viao, about three years old, but doesn't have an HD outlet.

Is it better to use an S-Video cable, or, optionally, a VGA cable. Or does it make a difference? Also, what would be the correct settings for a reasonable picture (I'm obviously not looking for Hi Def, but I'm looking for the best settings to make something watchable.)

Thanks for any help.
