The port with 15-16 holes is not hdmi port.
you can connect the monitor out of your laptop to your lcd by using the connector of 15-16 holes (its not rgb wire)it costs 50-100.you will not get sound this way.
you can also connect by buying a rgb wire that connects to your laptops s-video out.

There is this 1 line instruction given in manual -
Connect to PC IN RGB) jack & the audio jack.It is recommended to use a PC cable with ferrites.
what is ferrites?
FIg: this image is from the SONY BRAVIA user guide.
What is that wire circled in green?
THe brown circled component is a trapezium inlet same as in compaq 3070(check below pix)
__________________________________________________________________________________
These r the inlets from the laptop.I think i should use the TRAPEZIUM inlet to connect to bravia.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
THese r the inlets at located on the side panel.of the bravia.i could not take an image of the inlets present at the backside as it is wall-,onted,but u can c those in FIG.1
_________________________________________________________________________
There r 2 options,i.e RGB wire from the trapezium outlet of bravia to trapezium inlet of compaq.Same as v conncet our college or office lcd projectors to our laptop.
OR
S-video wire - where one inlet goes to compaq and the RED,WHITE,YELLOW wires goto bravia.
I'm confused!

If u can scan the user manual page and up it, would help me & u alot to solve your problem...
Ok from what i can see from the sony link u gave, just buy a 15-15 pin male connector connect the red circled part from the back of your lcd to the red circled connector of your laptop and u r on..
VGA CABLE
Use your TV remote to set the appropriate input like av1, vga etc......
If u have more queries do let me know.........
Also you will need a 5mm Mini-Stereo Male to Two RCA connector for audio
like this one coonect the single pin to your audio out of the laptop and the other end at the back of your
lcd below the vga cable pin, the pic is not clear so cannot tell will this be used, so if u can scan your manual and up it
will be helpful

As i said in my last post buy a 15-15 D-Type Male PIN connector of appropriate length u want, just connect the red circled connector from the back of your LCD to the red circled connector on your laptop with the cable pic given below.....
15-15 D-Type Male PIN connector VGA CABLE
Use your TV remote to set the appropriate input like av1, vga etc......
And for audio get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm connector and connect it to the audio out of your laptop to the blue connector shown above at the back of your LCD..
3.5mm to 3.5mm male connector
the cables above are just for illustration get the cable of appropriate length u need......
If u have any queries let me know will sort those out.........
What is Ferrites??
Its just a solid solution in which alpha iron is the solvent. The one that sony is used in the manual is called a ferrite bead it's a passive electric component used to suppress high frequency noise in electronic circuits. Ferrite beads employ the mechanism of high dissipation of high frequency currents in a ferrite to build high frequency noise suppression devices. Ferrite beads may also be called ferrite cores, ferrite rings, ferrite EMI filters, or mistakenly as ferrous beads. Engineers often jokingly call them FCC goobers, or FCC lumps after their shape when attached to a cable.
Above info courtesy wiki:- Ferrite bead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its the extra lump on the cable which u can see in the pic below...

sorry cannot edit the above post, some 60min limit thing poping up, any mod can delete the above post and keep this one......
Sorry as got the manual later...

Is it true?!
If it is,then y is the VGA output given?The VGA male-male conector i bought is costlier than s-video wire.Does VGA cable wire gice better picture quality?
I guess in S-video cable one of its ends,(circular with 7 holes) goes into laptop and other RED-BLUE-WHITE cables go into LCD.
OR is it that both ends of the wire r same.

The VGA cable is if you want to *also* use the bravia as a monitor for your PC. Tho the Bravia would be an expensive monitor for this purpose.
The s-video is just for video playback, like say hooking up a vcd player to your TV. Thing is the laptop must have std s-video pinouts, some vendors (like IBM in the past) modify this slightly so it may not always work.

Ok so y was a VGA cable suggested instead of a S-video even tho both the
device have S-video..
First of all i have never used s-video to s-video in my life so cannot say about clarity and stuff. But technically what i can say from viewing the connectors on both the device's.
The lappy has a 7-Pin s-video connector as compared to the 4-pin s-video connector. The connector on the s-video is called a 7-pin quasi-DIN which carries component video i.e. YPbPr signal. So which means the s-video on the lappy can provide a better output quality. On the other end the LCD TV which has only 4 Pin so it can only decode two signals color & brigtness and give a max resolution of 576i. As compared to the S-video on the Lappy which can output 1080p resolution.
And as for the VGA connection one can use the LCD TV as a 32" LCD monitor can watch movies at 1080p resolution [if the TV supports] as if one sums up everything the price paid for the VGA cable is worth it. Instead of using two different technology s-video and compromising on the video quality.
Both the lappy & the TV can produce high quality pictures so y let it go to waste for merely some stupid cable. The VGA cable is worth every penny the guy has paid.......
And as the user [Jumbo5] has now used both the s-video & the VGA cable lets ask him what he thinks on both the connection claity......
4 Pin S-video Vs. VGA.........
I can go much deeper on this topic but i guess everyone has got the point.
And as the lappy doesn't support HDMI, i would have have suggested it instead of any kinda connection.
Any other query do let me know.......

A 4-Pin S-video connector is given instead of a 7-pin quasi-DIN, coz a 7-pin quasi-DIN is largely used in graphic cards, and where as a 4-Pin S-Video connector is used in 90% of AUDIO/Video Products [i.e. DVD Player, VCR etc.........]
So u have a vga cable for graphic card then y u need a extra connector just to connect the same device. A 7-pin quasi-DIN
won't be of any use other than graphic cards........
Thanx andrews...reps reserved for u again.R u a hardware engg, or some brilliant tronics engg. or just a high-tech savvy person?...WHO R U?!!:huh:
:hap2: Ur answers r so systematic and specific...mann gaye tumko yaar!:clap:
Thanx for participation blr...repped u too.
I have not used S-video cable till now on lcd,but i'll post my comments whenever i use it.
Now excuse me a moment, i have to go out n buy 3.5mm audio connector as suggested by andrew & call those bravia technicians for unmounting the LCD from the wall as the points r @ the back of the LCD....i seriously wish they were @ the sides....unmounting the LCD is a big headache!

Picture Resolution, Media [HD or BLUray] the fight just goes on...
U say HDMI is better i'll say wait for DisplayPort [by ATI] and u'll know..
After some time one will say DisplayPort is better and i might say wait for
blah blah.. This is a never ending fight.
What i suggest is u have bought a piece of technology take full advantage of it. Like we do in PC's Overclocking we know this CPU can run faster so y not utilize it by increasing FSB Multiplier u have a lot of options.
And BTW Jumbo where are u exactly located in mumbai, if close to my place i can help u setup the thing.........
