[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1120761, member: 24160"] [B]Fillysports:[/B] Some things I'd try before even thinking about trying analog since there is no VGA on the TV. Connect the computer, but turn it off. 1. See pg 69 of the manual and make sure that CEC is turned off on the HDMI port you're using. 2. Also follow the instructions right below that to delete the device from that port. 3. Go ahead and try an A/V memory reset for that port. While viewing the input to reset, press MENU and go to Adjust > Reset - Press ENTER to highlight the Reset icon - Press ENTER again to reset. Now boot the computer - let's keep fingers crossed you'll get the Found New Device menu can select PC and it works. If not: Your only option is composite or component on that TV. Personally, wouldn't even bother spending the $40-50 it'll take to get to a composite input. But, you can read post #7 & 15 to find out how to do it. To get to component, about the best route is going to be using one of the HDFury adapters. [URL="http://www.hdfury.com//"]Here's[/URL] their web site. The HDFury II is the one you'll want. The mdp to HDMI adapter will connect to the HDFury II and then in turn to your component inputs. It's going to run you $150 from either Amazon or monoprice. I have not used any of the HDFury adapters, but they typically garner excellent reviews even from end users.
