As InDiSent asked, if your TV has a HDMI connector, then yes you will be able to connect to that TV, if not, then you are out of luck.<br /> Unfortunately there are no converters from HDMI to S-Video or composite. They do not exist, and a few devices that claim to do it, are over a hundred dollars. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/can-hdmi-cable-be-used-to-connect-to-normal-tv#post-35309 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 12:24:32 +0000 InDiSent 35309@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Does your TV have an HDMI port? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/can-hdmi-cable-be-used-to-connect-to-normal-tv#post-35300 Thu, 17 Jul 2008 11:00:31 +0000 georgelaljohn 35300@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I am having an HDMI port in my laptop .Can i use a HDMI cable to connect it to a normal Television.Or it can be connected only to HDMI tv? </p>
