[QUOTE="lilmatt01, post: 469105, member: 36681"] [b]New Thread for TV as Monitor...[/b] Sorry for another post, but I wanted to be more clear on this one. I have resolved my resolution problem, so all is good there!!! As for my bigger problem... First, I have a PowerPC G4 running OSX Tiger. I purchased an LG Plasma HDTV for use as a monitor/TV. The LG is a 50PC5D model. Problem: Whenever the computer is connected to the TV it will not turn off. When I shut it down, it automatically starts up again. It will not sleep either. When the computer is turned off, all I have to do is connect the monitor (via VGA cable) and the computer powers on. Is there a way to override this? The TV does not turn off itself. When you power off, the light turns red and the TV sleeps (I suppose). I figure it is reading off the power on the monitor and therefor will not turn off. Please help! THANK YOU! [/QUOTE]
