Connecting One Laptop to 3-5 TVs
 

I manage entertainments in my local pub and I want to connect my laptop to the 2 TVs and one projector that are currently in the pub. My landlord has also suggested purchasing another two TVs, so I want to be able to connect up to these too.

The pub has a separate sound system, so I am not bothered about sound from my laptop playing through the TVs, just the picture.

Outputs of my Laptop
VGA
S-Video
HDMI

Inputs of the Projector
VGA
S-Video
Scart
HDMI
RGB
Coax

Inputs of the LCD TV
S-Video
Scart
RGB
(Possibly DVI)
Coax

Inputs of the CRT TV
S-Video
Scart
RGB
Coax

Inputs of the 'new' TVs should he purchase them
HDMI
S-Video
Scart
RGB
Coax
(Possibily VGA and DVI though unsure)

I need a solution which will connect my laptop through one of its outputs, to one each of the inputs for each TV.

Suggestions would be welcome!

problem as I see it the lesser devices only support the worst possible connections does the laptop allow cloning of outputs? if it does you could use a HDMI distributer I am guessing you could piggy back 1 in to 2 out which are readily available then svideo to the lesser devices in clone mode.

If it does not offer clone any single solution is only going to offer poor quality to match out with your lesser hardware

The picture quality does not have to be perfect. As long as large text can be read on the Tv screens, then that would be fine.

In this case, I am really only wanting to use the laptop to display Ads, questions for the weekly pub quiz, and videos for the video quiz round

Multi room video sender would do it if quality is not essential, something like this:

But you'll need to purchase additional receivers.

main questions from me are whats the distance between the laptop and the tvs and the 2nd whats the budget

The best input which they all have is S-VGA, I connect my XBox 360 to my TV via S-VGA and it a crisper picture that scart.
