I can't get my iLO-2600 to completely work as a monitor.

may need to tell the laptop in the screen resolution settings to display the image on the tv instead of the laptop. Right click on the empty desktop of the laptop and go to either propertie or screen resolution and then make sure that the computer can see that the tv is hooked up and that the image is showing on the tv instead of the laptop. You may also need to change the mode on the tv to vga.

The complete user's manual for your phone is available at the following link:

if you are trying to use a lap top to display on a Flat Screen TV, then hook the laptop to the TV with a 15 pin D cable or a HDMI cable(what ever connector you have in common), the switch the TV to PC and then look on your laptop for an ICON that shows a TV set and acomputer screen together. On mine it is hold down the function key and tap the F6 key( Fn+F6) on some computers it is the Fn+F5 key, this switches the display from the laptop out to the TV on to the Aux PC input.

Your tv is needs a digital signal to set the time.
So if your just using an xbox or ps3 you will not be able to do it.
If you have your cable / direct tv hooked to it.
You should be able to go to the "Menu" button select it.
Then in the Menu display it should show a "time" box or clock icon.
If the Icon for time does not show up then you do not have the
correct connection.
I'm using the Dynex as a computer monitor, direct connect and I do
not get the icon for time.
Therefore I can not change the display time for the TV.
Hope this helps.

1. Download English manual here.
2. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
3. Tap 'Change Preferences' icon (it has different name under it in Spanish, but you can view the icon itself at page 8 of the manual).
4. Tap 'Show all menu options' icon (page 33 of the manual)
5. Tap 'Change language' icon (page 36).
   

try changing your resolution for your laptop before you plug in your TV, the screen refresh rate of your monitor,(click the following, control panel, personalization, display settings, advanced, monitor Tab). Also what make/model video adaptor are you using, try updating the drivers, if this helps, please give a fixya rating. Thanks

ON 1 OF THE OTHER SETTING PAGES YOU NEED TO CLICK ON ADVANCED AND GO FROM THERE....

The best setting really depends on the type of pictures you want. Do you want a white background and a completely focused picture or do you want a natural background and more artistic type of picture? The latter is easier to produce as it can be done with a soft hand-held flash and almost any kind of natural lighting conditions and you can put it on a surface according to what you want to get - reflection, colors, shadows and what not. Getting a white background takes more lighting effort and way more Photoshop to cut the item from the background. See the picture of the same rings, different style of photography.

VGA cable doesn't carry any audio: use your audio output from PC into TV audio Input (standard RCA).
You need to configure your Display Properties to manage TV screen to get an effective connection.
Either you have a generic Video Grafic Driver add on (I'm using Intel Graphic accelerator) on your display properties either you are using a specific (NVIDIA) driver for your video card.
To check go to CP/ Display, settings Tab and in advanced you should be able to check your choice (if you don't want to go to user manual.
You can also (in CP/ Display, Settings tab configure TV as a monitor and select your option accordingly: use screen resolution on screen # 2 not over native resolution of your VIZIO screen (1080 x 960?) and be sure to use all the parameters as TV can accept.
As soon as TV is configured as per resolution and refresh etc..
check the presentation function on your PC: it's normally a FN key showing a screen icon on key top (on my Acer travelmate is FN + F5) on aspire may be it's FN + F4.
This function key will circle between: PC mail screen -> External screen (as you configured on Display settings) -> both screen.

cant use s video oout have to use vga dvi ect if your tv can take it ok to work way uw ant it like a pc desktop
