OK try booting up in "Safe Mode" Press F8 just after Turn on, when and if ya boot into safe mode then adjust your Video settings to say 1024x768x32bit and then reboot, if all good then when you are at the desktop, then adjust the settings to whatever you require... maybe 1280x1024x32bit.. Ya all good. If this doesn't work.. try the Monitor on another PC.. see if it works... if it does.. then maybe ya Video card is going/gone "Toes up" if not, then ya got a fault in your monitor, usually some sort of Power Supply problem or the like.

I am trying to connect my pc to tv with vga cable but its telling me unsupported video format

There are two things you need to check for this to work. On your TV see what resolution is supported. This will be available from the menu options on your tv remote while on the PC input (for most TVs)

On your computer, plug into a known working monitor and change the resolution to the one supported by the TV, or possibly lower. Then plug back into the TV. You should now get a display if you have set the resolutions correctly.

Hope this helps

Acer computer giving a message "Input Not Supported"

First of all try to to go into "Safe mode" and change the resolution settings and then start it again.If the message comes again then Unplug computer and monitor, then first plug in monitor, then plug in computer. This way give time for computer to configure LCD monitor first.

Now also you are getting the same problem then check out your video card if it is working properly or not.

Please rate me if this solution works for you

Thanks......Have a great time

Displays 'Input Not Supported' at start up om black screen

Seems that you have set the resolution on your graphics card to a setting higher than the maximum resolution supported by your monitor.
Try to boot into Safe Mode & lower the resolution of your graphics card. If not possible, go to Device Manager & remove the graphics card from it, then reboot your computer. This will reset the resolution.
You can then re-install your graphics card drivers & get it to work properly.

Input not supported

IT sounds like the monitor got fried.. sometimes if the monitor is in the on position as the power comes back, the monitor gets an unexpected sure which can sometime damage the circuitry. You may be out of luck. You're only other option is to try using the monitor on another computer to see if it's just a weird connection issue.

Sylvania 42" LC370SS8

Your TV monitor cannot support the format (scan rate) that your computer's display card is putting out. Go in to the computer's set-up for the resolution under the display properties and adjust the settings to support the TV monitor. Refer to the TV's instruction manual to see the supported formats.

When going back to the computer's display, the display format will have to be changed back to have the proper resolution.

TV sets are generaly not as good as dedicated computer monitors for use on computers.

Monitor

When your computer is starting up, hit F8 and you'll see the safe mode, safe mode with networking, etc. screen...You should see a choice that says "enable vga mode". Select that and windows will start and the os will select a screen resolution for you. After that, everything will work fine...I hope.

Good Luck!
