Getting PC to work on LCD TV

girojim · 20-04-2009, 17:32

Got a Hannspree 37" Tv and I've a spare PC that I wanted to use with it.
However I'm using a VGA cable and the TV says it's not supported.
Is there anything I can do?
Thanks in advance

Firstly, this general subject has been covered sooooooo many times here, so you could start by having a read of some past posts.

Next, have a read of your manual. It will tell you what resolutions and refresh rates your TV supports. You need to get the number of pixels correct and the refresh rate.

Not all LCD TV's can support PC images, my panasonic doesnt for instance.

If have DVI output on the PC try DVI to HDMI - but dont be optimistic, or spend too much on the cable till you know it will work.
