I am tring to connect my PC to my philips 32pf9631D plazma TV useing HDMI to HDMI cable but cannot get a piture up on the TV. Tried another monitor usung same cable, it works. Is there some special setting on the TV

never plug in hdmi when comp.is on you may burn your hdmi port

If you really want, you can use an old CRT TV as a monitor provided you get it connected.... so your plasma... YES. If your PC has a DVI port, you could use a DVI - HDMI cable to connect. If your PC does NOT have a DVI port, you could install a video card that does... better yet, get a video card that has a HDMI port. This way, you'll only need a HDMI cable to connect the PC to the TV for audio and video.

Your tv should have a blue vga port on the back. If it doesnt have one then you cannot connect it.

Hi,

Yes you can - but not with a USB cable. USB is only for data (file) transfer.

What you are attempting to do is use your TV as a PC monitor, therefore it needs to be connected to your TV using a PC monitor cable (15-pin D-SUB/VGA). You will also need a separate audio cable from your PC to your TV if you want to use the TV speakers for audio. If you are using a receiver or amplifier with external speakers, you can connect the audio out from the PC directly to the amplifier/receiver.

It is also possible to connect the PC to the TV with an HDMI cable if your PC has an HDMI out port. However, some TVs wont accept an HDMI signal from a PC and this method of connection can cause other issues, so I would recommend using the PC monitor cable method.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Regards,
BElectric

It can be incompatible problem or resolution is too high even though this TV should be able to support 1080p. You can try running the PS3 at lower resolution first and start going up from there.

Buy a HDMI cable.Hook up one side of the HDMI cable to ur tv HDMI Hub.The other side of the HDMI cable to ur laptop USB Hub.That it u got a connnection,now go in ur tv input pick which HDMI inputs,u put it in,example 1 to 4 HDMI Hubs.Pick the one HDMI Hub that ur laptop it hook up in.That it now u got ur LCD tv used as a monitor.

well not really, you need to buy the proper cable depending on the inputs of your tv, it may have the standar VGA connection as the standar pc monitor.

DVI to VGA cable
DVI to DVI
HDMI to DVI
HDMI to HDMI

after you have the proper cable just plug it, and turn it off, disconnect the standar computer minitor and turn it back on. the computer will set the input signal from the tv by itself.

thats for the video, for the audio you need a different cable

3.5 mm to RCA (white and red cable)
3.5 mm to 3.5mm headphonejack cable
but if you are using the HDMI to HDMI you don't need a sound cable.

ok i think you need to reset the video settings here is a step by step procedure which you can follow

To reset the display settings of the Xbox 360 console to the default settings, follow these steps:

1. Remove any discs from the disc tray.
2. Turn off the console.
3. Turn on the console.
   
   Note If you are using an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, turn on the console by using the Xbox Guide button on the controller. Wait for the guide light to indicate that the controller has linked to the console.
   
   Note Make sure that you use the player 1 controller when you do this. The player 1 controller is indicated by the upper-left quadrant light on the console.
4. As the console starts, press and hold the Y button as you pull the right trigger.
   
   Note This action causes the Xbox Dashboard to reset the display settings to the default settings. The console then automatically restarts.
