My lappy only has Svideo & Vga out.

this cable looks interesting.

the one article said that HDMI is like a USB connection.  
unfortunately i got a plasma without a dvi imput. it has 2 hdmi & 2 component (RGB) & 2 analog (RYW) imputs.

i did use two cables to temporarily connect my laptop to the Svideo & the headphone output. but the resolution was poor.

or at least i couldnt figure out what res to change to. But i think its a limitation of the S-video correct?
