Show presentation on tv...how?

[emzadi]

I need to show powerpoint slides on a television screen. I am running the presentation on a Dell laptop. How do I get it to the tv?

Basically, unless you can convert it to VHS or something, you don't.

Remember how we used to rent overhead projectors and stuff? Well, now you can rent large monitors...

I should have said--see the question below where someone is asking about putting it onto a VCR tape (VHS).

A couple of ways:
Have a TV set already and purchase a Converter box $200 -$300 Resolution is usually 640x480

Or
Spend big bucks $3500-$10,000 on a Video Projector, resolution is higher the more it cost. up to 1024x768. Video Projector requires a Screen of some sort usually provided free at the Auditorium. Plus the Video Projector can be seen from real far away.

Cables are provided with each

If you have a current dell laptop you most likely have an S-video hookup on the back. Make sure your TV has S-video capabilities and then just run the cables. Your powerpoint presentation should show with no problems once you use the S-video cables to hook your laptop to your TV.

I do this quite regularly for company presentations and they work out great. The best TV for using is a Sony but basically anything with S-video capabilities will work.
