Hey all,
I know this has probably been asked a lot but its hard to find answers for specific set-ups. I never bothered to get too literate with video components so I don't know how to properly and most efficiently set up a connection between my laptop and my TV.
The laptop I have is an MSI GX620 - for video it has HDMI and VGA-out and it has 4 inputs for audio:

The TV I have is a Sony Trinitron KV27TS30 model and it has the regular red, yellow and white inputs, s-video and then two extra audio inputs... (maybe its better to look at the schematic):

So basically I want a cheap, easy way to connect the two to watch videos on my TV (or something to connect to the TV so I can watch videos off of a USB key/external) and I was hoping someone here could help me out! I am not too concerned with quality as the TV is old and won't show it that well anyways I just want them connected. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
