I'm looking for a cheap way to connect my laptop to my tv. My tv is a 42" widescreen plasma with RCA, HDMI, and s-video inputs. My laptop is a bit older and only has VGA for video output. I don't want to spend money on a converter box or a graphics card. I already have audio taken care of via a stereo headphone jack to RCA cable from my laptop to my amp.

So would I get better performance from VGA to RCA cables or a VGA to S-video cable?
