Please log in for more thread options Anyone out there successfully hook up a pc to a Panasonic PT53WX42? I'm trying to setup a media pc in my living room (am a newbie at this) I tried using a VGA to Component cable w/out success. I found this VGA to component adapter for ATI cards (on the adapter there are different switches you can set the adapter to like 480p, 1080i, 16:9. Would this be a way to go? Just want to know if it's even possible for me to do this on this TV. S.D. Santiago | |||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options The vga to component cable should work. Here's another source: http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/component/vgatocomponent.htm It sounds like you have a resolution issue. I know my Samsung only supports certain resolution when in PC mode. (It has a vga input :) ) The problem is changing the resolution when you can't see what you're doing. Before I bought another piece of equipment, I'd try each of the different screen resolution options to see if any work. Set the TV to the component input you have the vga-component cable on. Double check all connections. Using a separate monitor, step through the options on the PC: right click on the desk and see if the TV recognizes it. Other options: Does your PC have a s-video out on the video card? If so, just use that. You may have the same issue but I doubt it. Buy a new video card with s-video out. Cheap and easy to change. Good luck. -- yustr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ yustr's Profile: http://www.HomeOutfit.com/member.php?userid=37 View this thread: http://www.HomeOutfit.com/showthread.php?t=68243 | |||||||||||||

Yea it's correct the model is correct. http://www.dealsondigital.com/Shop/Product.asp?ProdTypeList=4285&Sku=PT53WX42 YUSTR, Thanks for the reply. Svideo would not work for me... The main purpuse for the pc will be for audio and for DVD movies. I would want to use component for better picture. > Are you sure the model is correct I can not find any panasonic's made with

Ok.. I can see the info now.... If you have an ATI adaptor installed that outputs a component style signal (480P, 1080I) It should work just fine. > Yea it's correct the model is correct.
