Double check the connection at the back of the computer and also at the back of the tv to ensure the cable is plugged into the correct ports. (It is assumed that your video card is supporting a tv connection). Be sure the cable is plugged in securely at both ports.

Next, be sure you're using the correct input or source on the tv. To check this, press the "Input" or "Source" button on your Tv's remote until you reach either "Aux" or the apupropriate input/source that displays the image from the computer.

If those don't work, unplug the cable from the tv and computer and inspect it to be sure that no pins are bent or broken off. Missing or bent pins will result in loss of data between the computer and tv. This can cause the connection to not work.

Verify that your video can, indeed, support TV output. You may need to enter your video card setup or configuration. You can do this from within the Windows control panel, or the interface software that was installed with the videocard when you put it into the computer. Sometimes you have to change a setting within the video card control panel to enable TV output. Sometimes you don't. Videocard models vary, so there is no cut and dry procedure to follow. Simply open the control panel for "Display Properties" and hit the "Advanced" or "Hardware" button/tab. You should find a "Display Adapter" listing, with the name of your videocard. There may be a "Properties" button within this section as well. Click "Properties" to bring up a selection of additional options to choose, and possibly another option to enter the videocard's interface software (which may include even more choices that may help you out).

My TV (42" Full HD

Hi,

Yes you can - but not with a USB cable. USB is only for data (file) transfer.

What you are attempting to do is use your TV as a PC monitor, therefore it needs to be connected to your TV using a PC monitor cable (15-pin D-SUB/VGA). You will also need a separate audio cable from your PC to your TV if you want to use the TV speakers for audio. If you are using a receiver or amplifier with external speakers, you can connect the audio out from the PC directly to the amplifier/receiver.

It is also possible to connect the PC to the TV with an HDMI cable if your PC has an HDMI out port. However, some TVs wont accept an HDMI signal from a PC and this method of connection can cause other issues, so I would recommend using the PC monitor cable method.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards,
BElectric

What do I need to connect my dell Inspiron B130 to my panasonic viera tv?

Hi. Try buying a VGA-to-HDMI cable/adapter and connect the VGA to the side of your Dell B130 and the HDMI end to the back of your Viera. Press Fn+F8 on your laptop and you should be able to view the display on your TV.

Hope it helps... ^_^

Pc connected to th42phd7 but no picture, input button doesn't

are you on the right input. To use this set as a monitor you do have to change some settings in the options part of you tv. Also you need to make sure the set is on the right resolution for the PC. check you video options on the PC, and make sure they are the same on the TV set. Also you will not get sound from this type of cable..good luck

Panasonic 42" connected to comcast dvr, and dvd player

To solve need more info if this is still a problem.
Is your comcast dvr connected directly to the tv, and also the DVD connected directly to the TV?
If so then you will need to change the input selection on your tv remote to determine which inputs these devices are connected to.
If you are connected differently, please post how your devices are connected.

I dont believe that you can hook that model up to a TV you have to have a certin video output and it also would depend on your tv as well. But i am about 100% sure that series does not have the output you need you usally can connect via S-cable
