How can I connect my computer to my Vizio HDTV through an S-Cable to use the TV as another computer screen?

I have a 37 inch Vizio HDTV and an S-cable. I've connected the computer to the TV via S-cable but there are no S-video inputs on the TV menu. I have component 1 component 2, HDMI 1 and 2, AV 1 and 2 but nothing for S-video. Can someone please help?

Hi there,
It is logical to think that if your TV has got S-video then there has to be an input for it. Otherwise why would it has S-video. On your remote, use the input or source button. Remember you must connect the audio as well, L and R should be right beside the S-video connection.
Now, play the audio video on your computer and press the input button until the video appears on your TV. It should all be in your TV's manual, you can't go wrong with the manual.
If you really have trouble with the S-video, you can get an adapter for S-video to composite. Remember composite carries black and white signal along with other 3 colours. S-video carries the black and white separately giving you a superior video. So please try these.
Good luck!

    it should be under av 1 or 2.

    but connect your computer, and connect the s video cable to the tv. and look through the diffrent input screens, it should be under one of those.

    S-Video is a connector-type, not an input, specifically.

    S-video is not used for Component, so 1 & 2 are out. Also, HDMI is specifically for HDTV, so again S-video won't apply.

    Either AV1 or AV2 is your bet. In fact, if you look at the s-video connection on your TV, it will probably be labeled whether it's 1 or 2.
