How do you connect my pc to the hdtv? - Philips 50PFP5332D 50 in. Plasma Television

Check your power saving settings. You have different setting for when it is using a battery versus when it is not. It's probably turning off the video output after a certain amount of time to save energy.

depending on your tv and laptop, you will need the appropriate chord to connect to your tv. hdmi or vgi chord.

This site can help you out on how to set up your HDTV >> http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Connect-your-computer-to-a-TV

You need a VGA cable (15 pin) connected from PC (monitor out) to the PC input on the HDTV (15 pin) this is for the video. For the audio, connect from PC to HDTV, audio cable, either 3.5mm from earphone out on PC to HDTV 3.5mm audio input (next to PC VGA input) and also be sure to set PC screen resolution to compatible output for HDTV like 1024 X 768 or 600 x 800 etc.



Select the PC input on the HDTV using TV remote.

Hope this helps.

You cannot set your PC video resolution to 1920x1080 @60Hz?

Per user manual:
1. Set computer to a resolution supported by your HDTV (see Preset PC Resolutions). If your
computer supports it, we recommend 1920x1080 @60Hz.
2. Turn off the power to your HDTV and Computer.
3. Connect the VGA cable from your computer to the RGB PC jack on your HDTV.
4. Connect the 1/8-inch audio cable from your computer to the RGB PC Audio jack on your HDTV.
This step is optional and only needed to transmit audio from the computer through the TV.
5. Turn on the power to your HDTV and computer.
6. Select RGB using the INPUT button on the remote control or side of your HDTV.
Note: Refer to your PC computer user manual for more information about the video output requirements.

You will also need an audio cable, 2 Phono RCA Red/White (Left and right) -------------> audio output jack plug or Optical in------->Optical out

There should be a setting within the comp. Is it connected to the comp monitor and the tv? Perhaps from the comp to the tv with the monitor from the comp as well? Well if so, you may need a certain setting within the comp. Check under (on xp) display properties, and then under the settings tab. Please rate!

Here is a tutorial telling step by step how to do it, gives you different options as to how your connecting the two, hdmi, s video, component...http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/02/08/how-to-connect-your-pc-to-your-hdtv/
Hope this answers your question, feel free to leave positive feedback and thank you for stopping by Fixya! Post back if you need any more help.

make sure that your pc has a video card that supports hdmi and you should have hdmi port as well..

I think you have to go into properties of display and select dual monitors. Or better yet hit F8 on laptop keyboard and it should come up then. Good luck and keep me posted. GURU JAY
