Umm...if computers weren't meant to be used with televisions, then why would they make video cards with TV-Out connections and have developed Media Center to be more easily integrated with you Home Theater System?  How do people upload their home movies to the internet from VHS and watch ripped backups of DVDs, etc. on their television directly from their hard drive?   DUH\n\nI apologize for the irrelevance to the question.

If your lcd monitor boot up with the pc and able to show the desktop, then 99% you are okay, 10 sec of black screen is normal unless it happen just recently. \nFor a pc to boot up to the desktop, the bios recognize the hardware then the loading of platform, there is not much to show unless you change the bios settings on some motherboard, so it should be generally dark.\nConnection between pc and monitor shouldnt be a issue as normally you won't touch that, if it's connected, it should work, otherwise it won't be 10 sec delay only.

Make sure that your computer isn't set to run at a super-high resolution. The resolution might be higher than the monitor actually supports, so some stuff might get cut off (my old laptop did that).

I have my computer connected to my tv using a GeForce fx 5500 video card through an s-video cable.  I just right click the desktop screen, click "NVIDIA Analog Display" (my video card settings), then I goto "Display Mode" and do "Clone" instead of single display and then put tv instead of Analog display(monitor) and apply.  \n\nSorry if it sounds confusing.

check your windows display drivers and try reinstalling them\nand check again.

Make sure that you have it connected before windows boots up or the machine is on, then turn your computer on so that the machine detects the tv as a plug and play device.\n\nAlso your machine should have an Fn key and I believe it is F5 that will switch between displays. You can also go to advanced display properties ( right click on desktop --> properties --> Display tab --> Advanced properties ) In there , there should be a tab for swapping between a first display and a secondary display. Obviously configure your tv settings to be what they should be etc.\n\nSome articles I found by doing a google search :\n\nhttp://www.smartcomputing.com/Editorial/article.asp?article=articles/2004/w1510/18w02/18w02.asp&guid=\n\nhttp://www.weethet.nl/english/video_connect_pc2tv.php\n\nhttp://www.svideo.com/compaq1700.html\n\nThose should get you started and pointed in the right direction :)

It will look just like normal TV looks through the tuner card. Windowed you're fine. If you go fullscreen it will look bad because a TV's resolution is really low when compared to a computer screen.

Hmmm. Have you tried changing your desktop picture and see if it works or gets rid of the white space. Seems to me, the background picture is probably causing it or your resolution setting is not working right.

i think its got to do with ur resolution settings try using ur graphics card tv out properties

Driver issue, there is not a correct driver for this and WinXP is forced to use default drivers which do not have the correct resolution. The solution is to use PowerStrip to force the monitor to recognize a correct resolution.\nSee the link below.

If all turns green then you have a lack of red. could be an issue with the monitor or the graphics card. can you see elsewhere (not in WMP) any red spot on your monitor?\nbefore uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and software do a little test - open WordPad, write a few letters and set them to red - do they show up in red?

isn't a problem with your monitor ???? \nif it's a CRT monitor, then remove the back ok ?\nsearch for some little variable resistors on the circuit board. there should be at least 3 pieces. in my monitor are 9 or 10. ok, i said 3, because you have 3 basic colors : Red, Green and Blue (RGB). each resistor will change one color, so check them, and set the colors to be good. hope you understood. i'm not so good in English :P\ngood luck :)\n\nand another thing : isn't a big speeker near the monitor ? sometimes powerful magnetic fields can change the colors.... white to pink !!!\n\nstill another idea : isn't your monitor's "data" cable bad ? NOT the power cable

You need a video card with two outputs. After installing the card's driver, you need to extend the Windows Desktop to both screens (in Control Panel).

WinXP?\n\nDesktop-->Appearance--> "try using silver here" but I know there is a way to customize the color scheme around here\n\nalso go to\nControl Panel-->Display-->Settings-->Advanced Button-->Color Management: From here you can choose a color profile for your comp. You can make them too make a grayscale.

Well 1st you have got to check if all the cables are working and are of the rihth tipe.\n2nd set your tv to AV chanel mode\n3rd activete the ports from your laptops video card software!\nit should work if not try a NEWER DRIVER AND BE SURE TO CHECK ALL THE SETINGS. p.s.: some movies wil not show on the tv unles the tv is the only video output destination(in this case it will show your desktop &curent player but the video feed wil be black)(solution switching off your laptops screen from the same software you switch tv output on)!

disconect the monitor cable from the video card and look at the pins....make sure one didn't get bent. it's way easy to bend one and it will usually throw off the color or brighrness. if thats ok, try adjusting the brightness and contrast on the monitor.

Change the primary display to the TV screen. \n\nThis happens because the computer (for some reason) can only stream the video to one output. Happens with online windows media player and a projector connected to a laptop.
