<p>For watching TV....i know that it comes through the computer or whatever but do people bring TVs and have a cord or something that hooks it up to a larger screen?</p>
<p>You can if you want to. It is called an s-video cable.</p>
<p>Thats assuming that the TV has an S-Video outlet too right....and is it unusual to do this or do most students watch TV on their computers?</p>
<p>i tend to find that the quality of the video isn't good enough to warrant connecting a tv to your computer. if you're bringing a tv anyways for a game system, then it might be reasonable to bring an svideo cable</p>
<p>S-video cable is useful for if you watch a show with a lot of people (so you don't have to all crowd around a laptop). And almost every TV that isn't 10 years old that I've seen has a place to put a cable; I've seen a few laptops that don't.</p>
