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.
 
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?
 
Yes it does have svideo, but only connects to start, something that wouldnt give the best quality i feel
 
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
