Ahh, I see at least your model does support component out:Originally posted by: postmortemIA
almost every laptop has S-video out, especially inspiron. In user manual for mine E1505 this is explained in details, all ways that S-video out can be used as HDTV output and as as digital sound out.

Note that isn't actually a S-video plug though, as a S-video plug only has four pin holes like shown here:

Try to plug your addapter into an actual S-video output like that on a cable box or such, and you'll find it simply doesn't fit.
Anyway tjmudder, your laptop might support compont out with the right addapter as well, which would be cheaper and possibly better quality than using a converter. Both should be fine for running standard HDTV resolutions like 720p though.
