I think you are going to have to hook some kind of a wire up to that wireless laptop and then by high definition it will no longer be wireless!

Krish SuprVga is high definiton
and S- video is the best NTSC you can have.
On your Laptop, maybe you nee to use N Vidia for transfert on S-Video output.
On mine that work with it.
It's more easy to found a S-Video cable and cheaper.

sada , you don't need tuner to get signal from your computer to tv .

you just need to find out if your computer support output, most of the time it like a serial port from computer to tv.

tv tuner is need if you want to watch tv channels on your laptop

Very few tv's have a VGA input as it is more common for a computer monitor than a tv - but it is not unheard of. If your laptop has an s-video output, then all you need is an s-video cable to connect as most tv's today have an s-video input.

FYI, VGA has a 480x640 resolution in just 16 colours (4 bit colour). In it's NTSC variant, S-video is the equivalent of 480x720 in 32 bit colour.

Hope that helps!

Krish Vga to S-Video is impossible if you dont have this output on computer and program for it.
Mr bobo it's superVGA not VGA
SuperVGA 480x720 32 bit like S-Video but better quality.
But it may be different accordind video card
