I watch streaming videos/media on TV. I have connected my laptop to TV
through a cable (I guess s-video cable). My TV is old and so is
laptop. I am thinking to change TV (42" LED).

One store is of the opinion that I must get a new computer with
provision for HDMI connection to TV.

The other store advises that there will hardly be any difference
between VGA and HDMI connection. So I can keep my old laptop doing the
the same job with new TV. He however failed to show me a demo in the
store that
could have satisfied me.

My question is: which opinion should I go by?

HDMI versus VGA

Depends on the TV. Samsung and Vizio do well with VGA (at least the
ones I own). LG is a failure.

Make sure that VGA supports the native panel resolution. If so, HDMI
and VGA will be virtually identical.

Our Samsung (40" LCD) works great thru VGA! (Now I need a better
wireless desktop!)

You might try a wired connection if you have the cable first. I have my
46" Samsung hooked (wired not wireless) to an old Dell 2400 P4 @ 3.06
Ghz and 1.5Gb Ram as a dedicated HT PC with VGA and it streams great.
The only wireless are the laptops.
