I’m looking at my magnificent 40" Samsung LE40R51BX that I got today. One of many reasons I got it was that it’s possible to connect the computer an have PiP, meaning I can IMDb when watching a movie.
As a TV it works great. As a computer monitor, not at all.
It’s got a VGA connector on the back, I have all the latest drivers on my computer, the videocard (Asus N6200TC) should be good enough, but the screen is black. I’ve checked the User’s guide, the FAQ over at Samsung.com and I can’t find a clue.
Oh, and if you’ve read this far - how do I get a resolution above the choices XP gives me? I want to set the resolution to 1366x768, but I can’t get it above 1280x1024.

I suppose you’re not speaking about the television now, but about a separate monitor? If you’re up to date on all your drivers, then the video setup screen will exhaust your resolution choices. Your monitor probably doesn’t go up that high.
To answer your questions:
No, it’s not a dual setup, I simply unplug my TFT and move the cable to the tv.
The computrer is not a laptop.
No, the choices in XP when I try to change display options, not the screen at all.
Yes, I’ve read the manual, before posting, and followed instructions. Iy’s simply as if there’s no computer connected.
Oh, well. Time to call Samsung support. It was evening here and I was hoping someone had a quick’n’easy sollution. Thanks anyway.
