Mr Rivets, it's a Firewire port, otherwise known as IEEE 1394. "Firewire" is actually an Apple trademark, so Sony call it i.Link. Yours is the original flavor, up to 400 Mbps half-duplex. On TV, it's usually used for connecting those DV video cameras that still have Firewire ports.

Cammander, thanks for that link.
Bushfiva, thanks for that. I did get somewhere with reading the sideways manual and also found Wikki handy again. It looks like a really good reader as far as speed and clarity is concerned, but I'm darned if I can find any tools whatsoever.
From Commander's site,
Well, it's back to VGA out for the laptop...which is quite new, but not very expensive. $640, on sale I think. I was aware that it did not have dedicated graphics memory.
The Samsung 120 Hz has three inputs, and a CD for computer interfacing.
Composite (yellow) 4 HDMIs and a VGA marked COMPUTER. So, unequivocal really. But again, I have to ration my time or I'll not get any work done or book writ.
One will return after a burst of enthusiasm.

Use S-Video as a last resort if you have no other choice, or are not as concerned about the video quality of your connection.
