I would like to use my Sylvania LC320ss8 Flat screen tv as a computer monitor but when I plug in the monitor plug the screen on the tv says format not supported. My operating system is Windows 7 and according to the microsoft website my tv is compatable with windows 7. Thanks Tiffany

There is some shorted component/s on its main digital board. Your TV need a through checkup.

HI,
AS mentioned its sounds like the T con board of the TV is faulty. T con board is one which drives the LCD pixels. You can find this board on the bottom center of the TV covered by metal cover or aluminum foil. Replace this board will solve the problem. Its part number is BUF320G0401. I have found the same in ebay. But i am not sure is it working piece or not. Any way i have added the link.

you have the refresh rate or the screen resolution set to a size not supported by the tv, change it to 800 x 600 and try it. If it works increase it till you reach the maximum that the tv can show

Hello

You can connect your Sylvania LC320ss8 to a computer. There is a socket at the back of your TV to connect it with a PC via VGA cable. One end of that cable must be connected to TV, and the other end of the VGA cable must be connected to PC's monitor out jack.. You have to purchase on VGA cable for this purpose, and is available at most of the electronic spare part shops. A "mini-plug audio cable" also is needed to connect the audio from PC to TV. Its one end to be connected to PCs Audio Line Out jack and its other end to TVs PC in audio jack. Both Jacks can be located at the back side of the TV. After connecting it select the TV to receive PC signals according to its manual says. OK.

i had my tv hooked up to my desk top pc then i had to unhook it and use a older monitor then i rehooked the tv back up and it said not support format

Did you get your problem fixed? Mine just started doing that yesterday. I can not seem to find out how to fix it.

Here's one web place I found for you.

If the Sylvania code doesn't work, try Funai and Emerson codes. Same TV company.

Doesn't sound like the tv is off...I would contact the company.

Your TV monitor cannot support the format (scan rate) that your computer's display card is putting out. Go in to the computer's set-up for the resolution under the display properties and adjust the settings to support the TV monitor. Refer to the TV's instruction manual to see the supported formats.

When going back to the computer's display, the display format will have to be changed back to have the proper resolution.

TV sets are generaly not as good as dedicated computer monitors for use on computers.
