I'm watching my COMPUTER on tv but the quality is not great. It's a VGA connection with a sound cable. The picture is not SHARP. What should I expect from this connecton? The pc is a Dell inspiron 1545 the tv is samsung 32" lcd. VGA is an analogue connection and your 32" LCD is going to be a digital system.

There will be a small AMOUNT of blur and readability will be poor anyway. Try changing up resolution of down resolutions until you get to one that works for you. I have found my 21.5" LCD is much sharper at 1920x1080 resolution, than my friends 23" Konka TV at 1920x1080.

Unfortunately your laptop does not support HDMI - this is the way to go, video and sound through one cable if you have a graphics card that supports it.

The native resolution of the TV will be the best. Find out what that is and things should get clearer.to kurtiskain - thanks for the help. I kind of forgot about the analogue digital conversion there. So I have both the pc and tv running on 1360 x 768. Is this the best picture I can get WITHOUT going to HDMI?
ronron69Not necessarily. You may also be able to change some sharpness and contrast settings on the TV itself to get a better image out of it. If 1360x768 is your TV's normal/highest resolution that is the best you will get from it.

Out of curiosity do you have the model number of the TV and I can check for you?Thanks - the tv is a samsung LN32B360, two years OLD. The picture really isn't that bad but it is not as good as satelite tv.
My next pc will have an HDMI connection.Yup, that resolution is the best one for your TV
