Laptop to TV




By jrw4u on Apr 28, 2009

" "
I want to be able to watch things on my tv from my laptop
i was told you can adjust certain things under the control panel to get it to work but I dont know what to change
I am using a VGA to Composite cable(Red, Green, Blue)
My Laptop is a HP G60 Running Vista 32 bit and has a Nvidia 8200M G video card
my tv is not hdtv but does have composite hook ups i have the audio working right but when i hook them up the video on the screen is distorted
you can see anything but what looks to be 4 boxes and pink around them and its flickering the whole time
any help would be appreciated
thanks in advance

your question is not clear to me..do you want to use your TV as another monitor? or do you want to watch live tv on the laptop?

firstly, you should be getting your connection by going to the control panel and going to display and going to advanced and then the video card tab of your video card. The window asks you to find any external monitors. If this is how you got this far then you have to change your video resolution manually by going back to the first window in display and lowering your resolution to 320 by 240 ( 640 by 480 if that is as low as it goes. Good luck
