when connecting my laptop to my hdtv using vga the tv will says invalid mode. It recognizes the laptop is there, when I unplug the vga the tv switches to say no signal. I hit windows button P to ensure the laptop is projecting dual monitor.
The menu option on the tv (protron brand) there is a pc option but I am not able to select.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 


Hi Staepelc,
New to Tom's guide. I have same problem connecting laptop to TV with VGA, it could not detect the signal. Did you have your issue fixed.
