I am trying to hook up my computer to my lc321ss9 b tv. I hooked it up to the VGA port and it says format not supported?

is there light or any option on the screen of monitor?

The Emerson LC320EM2 is not a Smart TV. To display Netflix content, you can connect the TV to your computer via the VGA port on the TV. Then use the TV as your monitor; this may not work with HDCP content. To do this, turn off both the TV and the computer before connecting the devices. Then turn on the TV and set it to the VGA input (PC) before turning on the computer. (Note: you may have to enable the port in the BIOS on some laptops.) If your computer doesn't have a VGA port, try a DVI to VGA adapter. (This may not work with some video cards that only have digital signal output. Look at the port and make sure that the cable/adapter doesn't have more pins than the port.)

Alternatively, get a set top box with Netflix support. (Some Blu-ray players, the Roku box, Apple TV, or the WD Live Hub all have internet connection options and support Netflix. All will support a wired ethernet connection; some models will require a dongle to connect to a wifi network.)

Once you have the set top box, connect the TV to the box via a HDMI cable (purchased separately for most units). Connect to your internet connection and then log into Netflix, These steps will depend on the unit; please add a comment with your source of the Netflix content.

I hope this helps.

(I have an LG Smart TV; it is slow to find the wireless network when started. So expect some wait time before you can sign into Netflix.)

Tries Element website itself if ur LCD tv model still in the market u can download manual for free not look for their phone number like 1-800..call them pay them a fee they'll send out a copy of the manual to u.U have a LCD monitor now hook up to ur computer right now to used as a monitor now wright?Yes.Take that VGA cable out from ur computer and ur old LCD monitor VGA cable out of the VGA ports just take ur hand and unscrew the VGA cable.Used ur old LCD monitor VGA cable and hook up to the LCD tv VGA port and to ur computer VGA computer graphic card port or computer monitor port hook up the other end.Turn on ur Computer and tv on used the sides button of the tv find one that said INPUT push it a few times should find ur tv mode 1,2.3 ur computer is on as a monitor.

The 1525has a a hdmi port which you can plug a hdmi cord into. This may not support the audio. the tv and pc should detect the new monitor automatically or you may have to toggle it by hitting F4 key.

Unless the tv has a VGA input, or the laptop has a HDMI output, I am afraid you are going through too many conversions to make this work.

Yes there is... You are going to need a VGA cable and an 1/8 audio cable (for sound)

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1520/en/om_en/pdf/UX8623D.pdf - On page 29 it shows a picture of the right side of your computer. You will hook the VGA cable to the VGA port (Number 8 on the diagram).
The on your tv you will hook it up to the vga port as well. Page 7 of the following document shows a pictures of the back of your tv. You will hook it up to "L" on the diagram. Be careful to not bend the pins in the connector. http://www.viewsonic.com.au/support/manuals/files/LCd%20TV/N2750w%20User%20Guide%20English.pdf
Switch your tv over to the PC input by clicking the "Input" button. Then make sure your PC is sending a signal, you might have to hit the function key to switch the view.

2005 PC last one on earth that runs virus magnet XP, wow.
RTM all laptops on earth have manual
and in said manual is the hot key pair told for external vga port to work (or what is there)
FN +Fx (x varies by maker)
and see menu, auto, external ,internal, both
pick one.

acer.com,
some are now deleted at 15+ years old. there
so only google finds old manuals now. even free.

no no and no.
the port vga (not told yours or how you get to hmdi on TV ) not told
but laptops default to disabled, it is NOT a PnP port like a TV has.
no it is not, this is to extend battery life lots. by DESIGN>
Fn+F5, did work folks say. googled acer.com ended all support
this hot key works even in bios, no OS needed, Hint hint hint.

why say netbook this is no net book.
NO TV told
no cables told how VGA fits to any HDMI TV. and matters huge
adapted how./ not told
yes I do see lots of reviews griping above 160 Fn+F5 failing
but ive not a clue at all what TV this is , now connected nor why XP is run ever, and there is no support for this relic.

If your laptop has a VGA port, your Vizio needs to have a VGA port too so you can use a standard VGA monitor cable.

If your laptop has a DVI port, you hook it up to the Vizio using a DVI-to-HDMI cable.

And if your laptop has an HDMI port, you hook it up using a standard HDMI cable.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like your resolution on your computer is set too high for your tv to accept. Try putting your computer resolution down to 1024x768 or lower and see if that works.

From the looks of the TV manual you have everything right, so it's very odd you're running into this problem.

Have you tried swapping through the sources? I find with one of the TVs we have on display at work that any time I'm having some troubles with it I will change the source from PC to something else, then back to PC.

If that doesn't work then I'd suggest you try reseting the sound settings back to factory default. The instructions are on page 45 of the TV manual. From the TV menu select "Sound", then "Sound Reset", then either "Reset All" or "Reset Sound Mode". I would suggest reseting all.

Last option would be to try using the headphone jack in the side of the TV, though this is a last resort kind of thing since you would have to unplug it every time you wanted to use the cable box.

Hope this helps :)
