I have a Macbook Pro. I bought a VGA converter box and mini VGa cable on Amazon, which is not a Apple product. So I'm trying to watch show's from my laptop to TV. I hooked everything up correctly. But I'm getting a rainbow (no signal) setting on my TV screen. The converter box works because it is letting my change the settings, but can it be the VGA cable to mini port, that is causing the rainbow with no picture signal?

How can I connect my laptop to my LCD TV through HDMI cable (brand:LG) (model:LF15 series) HD ready?
You'll need to make sure that your laptop & LCD TV have an HDMI port. If they both do, simply connect an HDMI cable from your laptop to your LCD TV and make sure the input on the LCD TV is set to receive A/V from the HDMI port.

I have a new macbook and I wanted to use it as a dvd player on my insignia tv. I bought the DVI to VGA converter cable but get no signal. What gives?
dvi-d???? dvi-d is digital, and is NOT compatible with a vga signal. vga, is an analog signal, and needs the non-digital version of dvi to work.

Flat Panel Insignia 19
Lets see the cableing..

So you have a mac with a mini-dvi slot, you have a mini-dvi to dvi adapter, and then Dvi to vga adapter which connects to the tv?

The mini-dvi to dvi adapter doesn't have the analog VGA signal your tv needs. If I understood right.

Apple's mini-DVI to DVI-D cable does not carry the analog signal coming from the mini-DVI port on the Apple computer. This means that instead of buying a single mini-DVI cable from Apple and using a cheap DVI-to-VGA adaptor when you need VGA output, you must purchase another mini-DVI cable from Apple.

Insignia LCD TV won't recognize computer input...
Heres the dealyo.
Click start button
Click control panel
Click display
Click settings
adjust screen resolution (probably have to go down) until the tv displays your computer
if this did not work, you will have to adjust bit rate from 32 to 16. Fiddle with the settings until the magic happens.
You will not get any sound unless you use an audio jack plugged into t.v.

SOUND BUT NO PICTURE 46 DAY OLD INSIGNIA.........
If you just bought it, take it back to Best Buy. It has a standard warranty, they should repair it.

Nothing works like they used to nowadays, in my experience Insignia is a good brand. You may have just gotten a bad apple.

Insignia LCD tv 32".....
It's either the VGA cable you are using has a bad pin or the RGB/Color Scheme is set wrong. So try another VGA cable or try the LCDTV on another PC.

KWorld PC to TV Converter
I had the same problem. It turned out the issue was that I had the VGA Y-cable connectors between the PC and the KWorld box reversed. They look like they should be interchangeable, but they are not. A closer look at the cable connectors shows that one is marked "PC", one is marked "Monitor", and the 3rd is marked "SCAN CNVTR". Once I got them plugged into the right places, I got the screen image on the TV.
