I want to connect DELL Inspiron B120 laptop to TV, and I am not sure
what equipment I need.

After searching in web, I found Inspiron Latitude Laptop S-Video TV
OUT CABLE

Based on the pictures, it looks like the connector is for DESKTOP, not
LAPTOP.

Please help. thanks!!

According to the Owner's manual for the B120 there is no S-video out
connector. The eBay item is an S-video to TV RCA video/audio cable for any
laptop that has an S-video out.

You will need something like:

which converts your VGA monitor out connector to an S-video + video
component out.

Or something more sophisticated like :

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...773760-1720428

You will need to take the headphone out audio and use that for your audio
with a stereo mini-headphone plug-to-RCA stereo plugs. There are also USB to
audio converters as well. USB speakers used to be popular.

By the way it looks like the Dell entry-level Inspiron doesn't have an
S-video out but the Latitude does

Is your TV an HDTV? If so, it likely has VGA input.
