Yes, since your TV has a VGA input all you should need is a simple VGA cable and you should be all set. I am not sure on the TV's model. You say it is a 1080p (1920x1080) display. Once you connect it up, go into the desktop properties and under settings and choose monitor 2. Then just choose what resolution options you have based on your video card. Your laptop and or your TV's VGA input may not support up to 1920x1080, but try it if it does. If not, try others to see what works and looks the best. You can also hit the Function (fn) + the F4 key to switch between monitors once you set up the resolution. And some VGA inputs on TV's (like mine) alshave a mini 3.5mm jack associated with it so you can connect it to your souncard. So look in back or check your manual to see if your TV has 1. If not, you can just use your laptops speakers.

While it will accept a 1080i input signal it has 1366x768 native resolution. With the VGA cable you should be able to get some resolution to work, but your best bet is going to be to check the HDTV's manual for the supported resolutions. Hopefully the video card in your laptop will support one of them.

someone told me i should run vga mode on the pc
how to run vga mode on vista

**rbinck** · 09-15-2008, 05:17 PM

On Vista the computer should switch to a supported resolution. Mine will when the VGA is plugged in and I have the same Intel graphics card.

On my laptop the fn-F4 is used to switch modes, but when I plug in my HDTV to the VGA port it switches resolutions automatically and puts the video to both the HDTV and the internal screen.

king_blat · 09-15-2008, 06:15 PM

unfortunally i dont know what to do i tired almost all resolutions
i need step by step to what to do

**rbinck** · 09-15-2008, 06:47 PM

The problem is every laptop to HDTV connection tend to be different. If your HDTV is set up to work with a PC through the VGA port the information you will need should be in your HDTV manual. I'd hook up the VGA cable and try different resolutions starting with 640x480 if that works then try 800x600 and so on up until you find the higest that will work. Make sure the refresh is set to 60 Hz not optium or any other value.

king_blat · 09-15-2008, 06:53 PM

my main problem the screen remain black
which of these shall i choose
1920X1080/50 hz
1920X1080/60 hz
480p Y BR P
640X800 vga(i think this one)

**rbinck** · 09-15-2008, 07:09 PM

Are you saying your laptop screen is black or the HDTV screen is black?

Also if it is a Vista laptop, you should be able to plug in your HDTV to the VGA port and reboot the laptop and it will figure it out for you. Mine does.

king_blat · 09-15-2008, 07:22 PM

I mean the HDTV is black

i rebooted around 1000 times still the same

**rbinck** · 09-15-2008, 07:44 PM

Do you know what the refresh rate is set for in the laptop? It has to be 60 Hz.

king_blat · 09-15-2008, 07:48 PM

yes it is 60 HZ

**rbinck** · 09-15-2008, 08:02 PM

If you have a fn key that has an icon of a CRT screen on it (mine is f4) you can toggle through the output modes by pressing it while holding down the fn key usually beside the ctrl key. They usually go in this order: laptop screen -> vga -> both then back to laptop screen. See if that helps.
