This is a little off topic, but a couple weeks ago, I wanted to see what it looked like to run my computer through my HDTV. I am certain that all I did was connect an s-video cord from the laptop to the TV and selected the appropriate input. Up pops my desktop on the TV screen and I played a couple videos...but resolution was really bad.
So...tonight, my wife and I want to look at some hi rez pictures on the TV, but now I cannot get anything on the laptop to appear on the TV screen. The s-video works (tried it with the dvd) and the input is proper. Tried 2 laptops and neither will display on the TV. Help please before I jump out the basement window!! I see something in Help about a monitor wizaed, but I never used this the last time I connected to the TV.
THE ANSWER IS THAT YOU HAVE TO CONNECT THE LAPTOP TO THE TV BEFORE YOU TURN THE LAPTOP ON. S-VIDEO HAS A WHOLE WEBSITE!
