Connecting PC to LCD TV

BigR · 01-04-2007

Hi All,

I bought an LG 32" LCD TV awhile back. The TV has a monitor port on it and I was provided a standard VGA Monitor cable in the box. When I follow the steps that are provided to connect my PC to my TV, all I get from the TV is an Invalid Format message. I was wondering if there was some sort of command i need to issue to get it working. Like on a laptop it is Shift+F5 when you are connecting to a projector.

My video card is a BFG 6600 GT

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

It Sounds Like You Need To Decrease Your Resolution And Lower The Bit Rate On The Pc And If This Dont Work It May Be A New Cable, But That Dont Mean Its Good, Still Try To Replace It!
