    Default Link pc to tv

    Just bought a set of cables to link my DELL INSPIRON 1501 Laptop to my SAMSUNG LCD TV. Computer is running Windows XP.

    I can get it to work on an old monitor (Not LCD) & my friends LCD flat screen monitor BUT NOT ON MY TV

    ANY ADVICE VERY WELCOME

    Are you sure that you have selected the right input on the TV itself?

    If you have it connected up correctly and your on the correct channel on the TV, the problem must lie with the laptop display settings. Dual screen setup i think..
