How can I use the svideo out to extend the laptop monitor to a regular computer monitor as the 2nd screen?

I know most regular computer monitors don’t have an “s-video” input. Is there some component for converting the signal to the default monitor hookup (VGA? DVI?).

    If you are asking if there is a simple adapter or cable to hook up S-video to VGA or DVI, the answer is No.

    You can buy a scan converter device (expensive), but it’s not worth it. S-video gives a crappy image to begin with, and it will still look like crap when the signal is converted to VGA or DVI. aviatingamateur
