When I connect my PC to the LCD TV, The TV's "PC mode" menu is useable.
I connect via VGA, not via PC DVI-HDMI which according to the manual is not supported.
I also do not use the svideo/composite output of my PC and laptop to connect to the LCD TV...that would produce a poor quality picture.
How are you connecting to the LCD TV from the laptop? Svideo?
My manual also states, TV max resolution is 1360x768 not 1366.
If your laptop's maximum resolution is 1280x768, I'd use 1024x768 and display 4:3 or 16:9 on the TV.
You can also try reducing color depth and refresh rate on the laptop. It might be able to display higher resolutions with lesser color depth (ie. use 16bit instead of 32 bit).
Try updating the video driver of your laptop.
Try powerstrip...
Okay, this might help, this is how I am setup:
On my PC, I use a dual display (17" LCD monitor and 40" Samsung LCD TV).
Display 1: PC DVI to LCD monitor DVI
screen resolution slider is 1280x1024 maximum -32bit like your laptop I pressume. Driver of LCD monitor is loaded in the PC.
Display 2: PC VGA to LCD TV VGA set at 1360x768@60Hz 32bit
I am able to move the screen resolution slider of display 2 all the way to 2048x1536 which I don't use for obvious reasons. I am able to select 1360x768 on the slider of display 2, not display 1.
While displaying something on the PC...try the "PC option" menu on the TV.
Bottom line, you need to have your laptop display the max resolution of your LCD TV.
My 4 year old laptop has a higher resolution capability than my 6 month old LCD TV.
ericag_ph, my TV's resolution is 1366 x 768. My laptops's native resolution is 1280 x 768.
allenwfc, I checked my driver and it is updated to the latest version. If I go to a resolution higher than 1280 x 768, the picture on the LCD disappears (blank screen).
