[QUOTE="Tim Turner, post: 690271, member: 58291"] This is for the electronic guru's out there. My girlfriend has a Dell Laptop with VGA input and just bought an Insignia LCD TV with VGA input. She wants to be able to use the LCD TV as a computer monitor every now and then. I assumed that I could buy a VGA cable, plug it in, and it would show up on the TV monitor. We went and bought the cable, plugged it in, adjusted the display properties of the computer, and got the background of the computer onto the television, but there were no icons and when we brought up a screen on the computer, it wouldn't show up on the television screen, just the background. Can anyone explain step by step a way to accomplish this or are we looking at a dead end? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
