what kind of cable do I need to connect laptop to TV?

Although I can't be sure, the fact that you said Yellow, Red and white leads me to believe that you have RCA/Composit out on your laptop.  Yellow = video, Red = left audio channel, and White = right audio channel (Or vise versa, I can't remember).  Take it to your local Radio Shack and ask the guy behind the counter what kind of cable you need, he'll know.

your graphic card must have some sort of an output.\ns-video output preferred because all the new tv's come with standard s-video input jacks\nonce you have both the output and the input, then its only a matter of buying the chord.

Honestly, I don't think there is a way for you to do it without some type of video card input for the laptop.  You could use a USB video capture device like this:  http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_usb.html  But they usually have a delay of a second or two from the input to your monitor which isn't good when playing video games.  (You don't want any delay at all actually.)  You also won't get full resolution either.  You're really just better off just playing on a television.

Red is right. To connect cable to your pc you will need to buy a TV tuner. Because you have a laptop you need to buy either a PCMCIA or USB TV Tuner. A PCI one will not work for you. You can go to your local Best Buy,CompUSA or?????\nany other local pc store to buy one. They go for less than $150.00 I recommend the USB TV Tuner, just because it is USB so you can connect it on any desktop that has USB too.\nWhich nowadays more than 90% all do.

I would use a USB cable.  But any IEEE compliant cable will work with those.

You need an audio patch cable, looks like this: http://www.virtualinformation.com/ebay_images/35mmmaletomalecable1lg.jpg\nto go from the audio out on your computer's sound card to audio in on your tv.

Yeah, exactly, you want to get a graphics card with TV-out. As you probably guessed this means it will send the signal out to the TV. It will most likely use a yellow S-Video cable, and you will need to buy a cable that will come from your sound card with the red and white (or black) audio channels. If your TV doesn't accept S-Video then you should be able to pick up an S-Video to Scart adapter for about $5.

First your TV must have A/V (audio video) input.  The red and white  plugs are normally used for the audio.\nIf your computer has an audio out/speaker out with this type of \nplug  then simply connect the two and set the TV to the A/V input\nThe computer's audio will play on the TV. \n\nIf your TV only has an antenna input then you will need some type of conveter an old VRC works great.  Hook up the wires from the computer to the audio input of the VCR and take the antenna out to the TV. (You will need an RF cable - one probably came with the VCR)   Set the TV on the VCR's output channel normally 3 or 4 and the VCR's input to A/V.

LCD TV is for u. Or u can just buy any regular computer LCD and attach an external TV Tuner box to it.

Laptops generally don't have built-in tv tuners. Certainly not Dells.\n\nLatest inspirons have vga out, DVI out, and s-video out, but no in.  You can buy tv tuners for laptops, but they would have to be either PCMCIA cards or USB since those are the only ports laptops have.\n\nIf you want to do tv tuning and such, you should really have a desktop. Laptops weren't designed for it.

You must have a video card that either:\n-have RCA adaptors in the back of PC to connect to TV\n-DVI connection in the back for HD TV\n-S-VHS VIVO (video in/video out) adaptor to connect to TV\n-S-VHS to HDTV adaptor \n\nOtherwise you can't.

If your laptop has a yellow video port, with an RCA jack connection, just use a common video cable to hook the laptop's yellow plug with the yellow plug on the TV.  \nIf your laptop has only the external monitor port, you probably won't be able to connect the two without an adapter.

if you're doing this for portability (and i'm assuming you are.  there is no other good reason to hook your x-box up to your laptop), then check to see what kind of inputs your computer has.  some newer machines have VIVO (Video In/Video Out) jacks on them - usually for S-Video cables).  if you don't have one of those, you'd have to buy an add-on card.  and no, it won't look better on your laptop than it would on your TV.  just a lot smaller.

Either get a television card for your computer of an HP DVD writer with RCA inputs. In either case you can hook a vcr to your PC by Coaxial or RCA cables. I've done both.

You need a TV tunner and a cable connection to your computer. As far as I know.
