I had a Compaq laptop and an old 29" tv and all my video content was in my hard-drive and on internet :(
So, I bought this 4-pin S video cable as it matched with my laptop S-video port.
Make sure before buying that this cable will match your s-video port, otherwise you would end up criticizing a good product for your own mistake! :)

Advantages:
- This is a great product!
- At a great price!
- If your TV has capability to connect with CD/DVD or any video player through the Red+Yello+White cables, then this one would work for your TV too!!

Disadvantages:
- 6 feet length. You have to keep your laptop just next to your TV

3.0 out of 5 stars Good video, poor audio quality, April 5, 2010

Hooked it up to my laptop and TV. Video quality looks great, but audio is moderately noisy. I tried hooking up another stereo 1/8 to stereo RCA audio cable and the interference was gone. Strange since they were both budget cables about the same thickness... they really should have beefed up the audio cable shielding like they did to the video half. Also before you buy this really consider how much cable you need... 6ft is a little on the short side unless your laptop or component is right next to the TV. While the length issue is clearly my fault, the audio issue is poor design.

As to the other review complaining about a 7 pin connector, I used this 4 pin s-video cable with the Nvidia 7 pin jack on my laptop and it works and detects just fine. The extra pins are used for component video, at least on mine.

Cable works great to connect my HP pavillion dv 2000 laptop to an older Sony TV (video + audio) and watch Netflix movies on TV. Some problem with the shipment, though: First time I ordered it, the cable got lost in mail, but the seller sent a second cable with no hassle (still, the shipment took longer than it was supposed to). Also, the tracking link that the seller provided did not work.
