[dba-Tech] Comp to TV

Quite a bit pricier solution than a VGA-VGA cable.  But would the picture
quality be better?

Well you wouldn't WANT to use S- Video as that is an inferrior technology.
As a last resort maybe.

I use the VGA input on my HDTV currently. Not from a laptop but from a
desktop. I have a new video card with an HDMI out that I intend to use in
the future but just haven't found the time to swap it out. Maybe this
weekend.

If your TV doesn't have a VGA input you will need a VGA to HDMI converter.

That is only for video of course. Sound is another matter.
