[QUOTE="lilmatt01, post: 468330, member: 36681"] I have a PowerMac G4 running OSX Tiger. I recently bought an LG Plasma TV to use as both TV and monitor. I hooked it up and it looks wonderful!!! I have run into two problems though: 1. When connected to the TV the Mac won't shut down! I went to shut down from the main apple menu (I did it a few times to make sure I wasn't accidently hitting restart) and as soon as it shuts down it starts back up. The Mac won't even go to sleep! The only way I can shut down now is to disconnect the monitor cord from the mac monitor adaptor. Then I hold the power button on the from of the Mac to shut down. 2. I can't find the perfect resolution. I think I have the correct one, but the picture is aligned to the left. There is a black bar to the right and I can't see the left of the desktop. As a side. I know all about the burning of plasmas, so what is the longest I should be using the computer as a procaution? Thank you for your help!!! [/QUOTE]
