Can I connect a DVD player to my E1505 Dell laptop, using the player as the display? Does anyone have any recommendation of a DVD player to be used in this capacity?
The laptop hasn't shipped yet, but this is what I'd like to do.
In addition, I would like to connect a small, foldable USB keyboard to the laptop as well (any recommendations on this?)
I was told that all I would need is an S-video port on the laptop (it does), and a video input on the DVD player (my current one does...). There is also an AV/in-out switch, and both a video and audio port.
I will be creating HTML docs, testing them and viewing the results on the DVD player display. Though being able to read the text would be great, I am mainly concerned about element positioning (paragraphs, graphics, and such).
Radio Shack sold me an S-video adapter, and a cable.
I have found a Toshiba SD-P1700 9", which seems to be compatible, but I would appreciate any other suggestions.
It seems likely this can be done, and there are obviously some very knowledgeable people here.
Please help.
