I have a Dell Latitude D610. I have a VGA to RCA adapter like the one shown below, but when I plug it into the TV and press Fn+F8 I don't have any other options but the laptop screen.

Does anybody know how to get it to output my screen on my TV?

Hi, thanks for the response. Do you mean that with this particular laptop model I need a "converter" as opposed to this adapter cable, or are these cables useless on ANY laptop?

I think(!) they're made for certain projectors that have S-Video out, but instead of making a S-Video connector, they made it go through the VGA output and require an adapter like that.

Thus, useless on 99,9% of all VGA outputs.
