HD TV won't display Laptop

Hey, anyone know what I can do?

I have a cheap Conia HDTV 42" Yeh Yeh I know

When I set up my Laptop to display it says "unsupported" so no display
But if I restart the laptop it displays the startup on the tv until I guess the vid drivers kick in

The laptop is a new Satellite and runs Nvidia GT230m

2 things


1: When you connect it up right click the laptop screen and go to properties in there is a setting for refrsh rate 60 hertz. If your TV won't support 60 hertz turn off the option to 'hide other modes'.


2: Check that the input on the TV is set to RGB-PC.

Resolution may also be too high! Start in safe mode or 640x480 mode by hitting F8 after the POST screen.

Looks like native resolution is 1980 x 1080 http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/21313

I know what you can do mate.

Click the link and all your troubles will be solved.




And if it didnt fix every single fault you had - then, click THIS and it'll all be good

Conia's service centre went bankrupt last year. Some idiot at our place raised his hand to be the new repairer - We got 80 teles in one day turn up on the back of a truck. Brilliant.

I like half of your advice there Lylow.
I know you service them but I'm not a Sony fan really.

But the other models in the second link are great.
I'm pretty sure you doesn't handle those models however.
As I'm sure your VERY aware, they are self service only.

Gay porn? Im not going to share me private stash with the likes of YOU lot

Seriously though - im not a PC techie by any stretch. Just make sure the TV can accept the resolution your feeding into it, and that the bloody Conia piece of junk DOES actually work.

Feed another PC's VGA cable into that input on your tele - for shits and giggles. See if ANYTHING works on that input. Stuff like that.
