Hmm I ran a few Google searches and came up with nothing
The best yu can do is get a TV tuner for the DS in Japan which is the total opposite to what your asking.
Since the DS doesn't come equipped with any sort of serial port I doubt it's possible with anything that's available off the shelf, there maybe some cleaver tech head that has found a way, we've seen a hard drive connected to a DS so anything is possible.
Would be interesting to see if it's possible.

People have connected DS and GBA units to TVs and external screens, but it always involves performing surgery on the unit.

well, unless you are connecting them to the vid glasses that simulate an 80 inch screen in front of your eyes, dont know why you would want to... yes there are adapters you can wire into your ds, and at least one thingy that uses no opening of the system, but is crappy... at that point would be better off using a vid cam... but here, check this out and see if it helps... if not i can dig my 'underground' sources and see what else i can find for ya...

well i dug deeper anywho, and found out alot about the tv tuner attachment, which looks wonderful... even has some old game/watch gallery games built in! well at least fireman, so one, but looks to either have room for more, or more, or not... but tv functionality is nicely done! the unit allows for no output tho... and nothing i hear/see in the works other that what is out... many (that wish to do this) just mod their ds on their own, not using the adapter thing which can be bought... not to say someone will not make something new to do it but from all i see/hear.. doubtful

hope that helps

Closest I've seen is two tablets being used, and that took alot of modding.

there is no point the quality would be AUFEL!
the DS res is 192 x 256 (i use a lot of homebrew) so there is no way im doing that. if you want to play metroid on the tv GET A GAMECUBE.
