The odd thing is is that my laptop had to be in 'dual monitor' mode for it to work; just having the external monitor sent the signal didn't work.

Once you've connected the pc to the TV, try holding down Function + F5 to tell laptop to display on TV

Most likely you are not selecting an appropriate display resolution or frame rate to send to the TV. The highest settings this Tv can accept from the PC input is 1024x768x60HzRight click your Desktop -> Properties -> Settings Tab -> Click on the secondary display device (Your TV) -> Advanced -> Adapter -> List All Modes -> Select "1024 by 768, True Color (32bit), 60 Hertz" -> Click "Ok" 3 times to get back to the desktop -> It should work now

At our school we found this product to be completely ineffectual in all possible configurations. We tried hdmi out -&gt; VGA in = nothing. We reversed that. Nothing. The same results with the yellow video line. Check the small print from the seller and you'll find they warn it only works if the devices being connected have built in conversion. Otherwise, nothing. You may need a converter, not just a cable. Rad up on your laptop's hdmi output... Good luck!

I have the same computer that you have. I hooked the cable up to three different TVs and it still doesn't work. I haven't tried the VGA port (blue port) on it yet; but the RCA ports (the red, white, and yellow) do not work.

I don't understand the question : display port on the laptop or monitor? In any case, this typically creates an HDMI port out of the other standard (display port?) . Can connect a TV too but watch out :sound does not go through.

Any suggestions for connecting my HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook to this TV? I know I can accomplish this through a VGA connection or S-Video connection, but I wanted to keep the connection digital quality. Thanks!

I have a 42" Toshiba (something like that I forgot) and it works just fine. Here are all the inputs that are located in the back of the sound bar: A "Sub Out" that is purple, an "Input 1" which has 2 plugs (one is white and the other is red), the last one is "Input 2" and that one is not color-coded. I use the Input 1 (the red and white) these two turn into one plug at the end that goes into the "Analog Audio Out" on my T.V.

all I got was the SVGA cable; however I was "told" that your computer has a certain resolution, whatever that may be. I do not think you can get a higher definition picture using one of these devices. What your computer puts out is what will be displayed on the screen. It should be noted that the device can arrange the pixels to make it seem there is a higher resolution. This is what I was told. If you wish to purchase one of these and get back to me as to how the resolution is on your T.V. I would greatly appreciate that, but I never tried the high definition converter, I just bought the cable.

Has anyone tried hooking up a laptop? I tried it hooked up to the PC input on my Bravia TV and get NO (ok, very little) volume. It's been suggested that a setting on my laptop needs to be changed. I need to watch streaming video for work. Anyone have ideas?

Your TV MUST have a VGA imput Plug IN and also an INPUT jack for Audio... 3.5 standard. If it doesn't have either of these then you can not connect your laptop to your TV that way. Maybe you just need a HDMI cable.

You can use the Mediabridge VGA to component video cable. This cable allows you to use the component input,on the Toshiba, as a computer monitor. Even though their isnt a dedicated PC input on the TV using this type of cable gets around that.

I'm not sure but the television has a poor track record. Do your research, our television only lasted 2 years and blacked out. This is common for Toshiba flat screens. Beware.

I've connected my laptop to the TV via HDMI and achieved 1080P. What is the maximum resolution on your laptop? Check your graphics settings. Are you duplicating, extending or using only the TV as the monitor? These settings will determine what resolution you can achieve via HDMI.

Strange, everywhere I've read states that Toshiba players are region free. I think the thing is with some euro discs is that they require you to use HDMI or they get downscaled to 480p. That's the only problem I've read about yet and it's only on some of them. Maybe that was the case and the T.V. was trying to do 1080i/p and wasn't prepared for it so it didn't allow a picture. Are you using component or HDMI?

From the testing I have done, that will not work because these are built to go the other way. You can use your TV as a large monitor for your laptop (or desktop) because they output digital video (VGA). It looks like these were intended to take a digital output from a VGA connector (usually a laptop, desktop, or in some cases a gaming console) to another device that has an S-video input or an RCA input. However, I have tried to go from a laptop to a TV that has S-video and it did not work. These may have been popular back when game consoles were built differently. I too have not found anything this might be good for. From the testing I have done, that will not work because these are built to go the other way.
