How do you get the clearest signal from cable TV?

Once I hook up my laptop to my TV with a monitor cable and an RCA sound cable, how do I get the picture on TV?

  • If I have both the blue monitor cable and the RCA cable hooked up to my Samsung Flat Panel LCD TV, how do I get the picture from the Laptop to the TV? Which buttons do I press on the computer and what input should the TV be on?

  • Answer:

    First, sorry about my English. Well, just press Fn+SomeKey that have a monitor symbol on it. It depends on the Laptop you're using. I'm using Acer Laptop and I press Fn+F5. If it doesn't work, try this. If you're using Windows XP, go to control panel, then open the Display. Once the Display Setting window appears, select Settings Tab. Then choose your TV instead of laptop's monitor. Hope this will help.

Sav has it right. There is a button on the keyboard that is used to switch the output of the video signal from the LCD to the external monitor port. You have to hit the function button (Fn) and usually the "F5" key. You should see what looks like a little monitor on the key that you have to hit. From there it should work just fine. You should have your TV set to whatever input you plugged the laptop into. It should be labeled on the back of the television.
