Re: new monitor
I also have a gateway laptop and to hook a monitor up all i did was plug the cord into the outlet on the back of the laptop.
If u have windows xp it should find a driver for you no prob.
as far as t.v. goes ive never done it but i dont know if running youre laptops dvd player to watch dvds is the greatest idea. If it gets burned out its ALOT more expensive than a $50 sony dvd player, and you have to get the laptop shipped out to have it fixed.
Just my 2 cents.
