RE: Sim recommendation for a laptop
It depends on the laptop and the tv.
If your laptop has a s-video you can use that as long as your TV does.
If you have an HDTV, they you probably have a VGA connection on it...in that case, use that. Most laptops have a VGA out...its much higher quality than s-video...
I play on my 42" Plasma most times....is nice!
