My tv says, "no signal and when i try to get it to lock on to pc in my set up it is high lighted in grey, that me in can't use it how do i unlock the grey so i can change the settings?
The tv isnt recognizing that something is in the pc input. change the resolution in the computer to 1024x768 and try again. if still not working make sure that your vga cable is still good with no bent or broken pins in the connector

there is sinal interferences from laser products pc mobile transmitters or video games get high quality vcr and cable tv cables move or switch off any video games cd players energy saving lamps or pc and microwaves n motors like pumps change the position of installation of cable and antenna to avoid path of interference
1. if your TV is putting out High definition (1080 P) to the PC and the PC's video card is not able to handle the signal an give matching resolution it will result in blurred picture. 2. check the resolution setting of the PC > your video card may not be able to accept the signal as is from the TV. Checked user manual for you PC to ensure proper signal transfer.
Try rebooting your laptop while the TV is on and select the correct input with your TV remote.
If that does not work, trying going into display properties in the Control Panel and setting up your TV as a secondary display from there.
- Start > Control Panel > Display Properties - Settings Tab - Right click on grey box next to blue box and select "Attach" - Click Apply and restart your computer.
what model of TV was it please,
Does your computer have tv out video card installed?
For video to tv you will need a vga to tv converter,this is an external device and will work on the computers vga output straight into a vga input and give you 1 x vga out,1 x rca out, 1 x s/video out,comes supplied all prebuilt with onboard graphics solution. no extra power required runs straight of vga output.
Once the computers video output is established then set the TV up to tune into the converters output signal.
HD TV can be set up to run thru rca and components and if model is late enough shuld come equip with serial vga input for computers.Other than that HDMI seems to be the better quality of picture over rca component.Cost verses dollar really and function.

(it is posible to hdmi over cat5e)
NO COMPARISON FOR QUALITY.
Ensure that the connection is a direct cable connection from the PC to the TV, no converters or cable adapters as these are generally not Bi-directional which is required for a PC to see a TV.
Try turning on the TV, then booting the computer. Some devices require the initialization signal from the computer to activate the port on the TV.
See if the TV input select has an option to search for active signals.
IF none of that helps, post the exact model of TV and computer as well as the type of cable connection you are using.
The biggest stopper most of the time is a cable converter.
It will accept a 1920x1080i input from a high def source , but running a PC at 1920x1080i/p will cause the problems you describe, depending on what the PC is sending to the TV, because PC signals are not the same as high def.
Your PC should be set to a resolution as near to 1366x768 as possible. My PC allows 1280x768 and 1360x768. Try one of these for best results.
There are no settings on the TV to solve this problem.
