[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1116196, member: 24160"] Shutin: Personally, I never recommend using a computer connected to a TV via composite or S-Video. What mdp to vga adapter are you using? If it is Apple's, you need to run software update while everything is connected and the TV is on. Apple had a firmware update for that adapter. Are you trying composite or S-Video? Try the other. You need to run through all the troubleshooting steps in post 2 item 1, including trying another device with that same input on the TV. I assume you've tried adjusting the horizontal scroll on the TV? You also need to try it on another TV. That's the only way you'll find out if you got a bad converter. I also assume the power cable for the adapter is plugged in? [B]Edit:[/B] would also suggest opening up the Display preferences and see if you can try any other settings there. [/QUOTE]
