|  VGA to Component not working Hey all, Ive recently purchased a VGA to Component lead to allow me to watch movies on my brand new tv  Ive got a vga connection on my laptop, and a component slot on my tv. I plugged it in, and selected to clone the image from my laptop onto my tv. But when I get onto the component screen on my tv, its just black. Ive mucked around with resolutions and things, and got as far as getting a flickiering line on the bottom of the screen Im wondering if ive forgotten a vital setting, or anything just to make this picture show! Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance, Innes. |

| Re: VGA to Component not working Hello, In order to be able to use a VGA to component adapter, your graphics card will need to support TV out through the VGA port. Ensure that your graphics card supports this feature. What laptop / graphics do you have?

| Re: VGA to Component not working i hook my laptop/pc to my lcd tv and my projector....but of course i do it via vga  your vga to component may not be the proper type... also, what else does your tv have? data quicky component has 2 types...digital and analog, does your tv have both, one or the other? or older plain "rgb"?

| Re: VGA to Component not working I have got an svideo slot. But I dont want to encount this problem again. I really dont know whether its my computer or tv, or even the wire itself. And as I want to play hd, s-video might not output it. Ive got 3 choices 1) Use S-Video to Starct 2) Use VGA to Scart 3) Use an older laptop with a DVI output, and get a DVI to HDMI- But Im not sure if it will play better quality movies. Thanks for any advice |
