[align=center][/align]I have a Toshiba Laptop that doesnt have many outputs especially for the video end. I do have an out put that that i use to run another monitor with I dont know what it is called maybe [hdmi?]. Anyway my question is this do they have an adapter that comes from there and will accept rca plugs on the other side? Needless to say what Im trying to do is get out from the laptop to 2 televisions for the graphics.

What is the exact name of your laptop?

It seems, that your Laptop has only a regular VGA output. So you would need something like this:

I'm not quiet sure, if you are still able to extend the screen and have a two screen setup, or if it only copies your Laptop screen to the TV. Ideal would be first solution.

Hope, that helps.

Found this, but don't know how well it works.  I have S video out from my laptop that I use, so I've never had to use any of these products yet.  Thinking about getting one though to set up for practice use at home.

If you have S-Video out on your Laptop, why would you go through the hassle with the VGA output? Use the S-Video.

Plugging in the s-video wire every night can weaken the motherboard connection.  What do you do when it breaks?   Use the VGA out, it's stronger. :yes:

I run something similar to the link from Seravin.  It may have a signal booster to feed more TVs and longer cable runs.
