Ok basically I have a Qosmio G20 laptop made by Toshiba. The laptop is great but now my mum and her partner have just bought a brand new Samsung HDTV.
The problem I am having is this, my laptop does not have a dvi out, it has an Analog VGA out and something called a D Video out. Now after researching on the net this is called something like "D Terminal". Now I have a cable which has this D Video connection but it goes to a Scart connection. Now obviously sending a D Video into Scart is pretty useless for getting a HD signal so I obviously need this so called D Video to either HDMI or Component.
But I cannot find one in europe it seems, or maybe just not looking in the right places. Here is a thread on the Toshiba forum about the current situation

Now this thread is quite old, so surely getting hold of a Digital Video / D terminal to Component or HDMI should be a lot easier. In the thread one of the guys says he actually dismantled the "european" D Video to Scart, taking off the scart end and connected up the 3 hd connectors (component connections i guess) and said it worked, but obviously I ain't going to be capable of this!
I don't mind buying the cable from the USA or Japan, but I obviously need to find a cable :( I would appreciate anyone having a look as I am just about to try on ebay and see what is around!
Any Help greatly appreciated!
btw this is the kinda cable I think i need
