S-Video on Laptop?
 

Just found out my new laptop coming to me has an S-Video hookup on the back... does this mean I can plug things into it, like, say, an XBOX... or a DVD player (even though the thing can play them regularily) and use the laptop screen?

Thanks for any replies.

This usually means that you will be able to output the main screen or an extention of your desktop to a television or similar device.

Wether or not this is a bi-directional kinda deal is beyond me.

Consult the web-page of the manufacturer.

I highly doubt that it is both an S-video in and out. My PowerBook only has S-vid out.

Most likely it is output only. For like giveing presentations on the big screen.
