i bought a double ended VGA cable and fitted it to my laptop and the TV, how do i make it so that i can see the laptop screen on the TV ?

thanks..The laptop video has to support this or it will not work.
The TV needs to also.
Since we don't know what either of them are we'll await more info...its a 4-5 year old Acer Travelmate 240(0) not SURE and its a new LCD 42" LG Tele, they both have them things erm...where i fit double ended VGA cable, i fitted them and nothing came up , i tried every sort av1 (etc) on list.

Thanks..I've noticed on most laptops that to switch displays you press and hold the "Fn" key and hit an F-something key. It usually cycles laptop screen>TV>both.Quote from: Soviet Genius on July 10, 2007, 08:29:12 PM
