    I have a Mitsubishi HD1080, Model# WS 55805 with a db15 connection and I'm not sure what configuration is needed to hook up to my pc running windows vista and a Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE video card. I have ordered a db15 male to male cable that my pc accepts but I'm wondering what else needs to be done. Can someone...anyone out there give me an idea. I have read something about frying the tv if the frequencies are not set correctly. Any help will be accepted with open arms. also I do not have the user manual and the tv was bought in 2003. Thanks before hand

    Just because the tv has a vga connection for your pc video card, doesn't mean the video card supports the resolutions of your tv. From a few things that I've read, that graphics card sucks.

    Another possibility... I'm not that familiar with Vista, but from what I've heard... Vista has a tendency to install it's own drivers. Perhaps go to the Nvidia website and download and manually install the Vista approved drivers that they supply.

    But that's kinda of the problem. My tv does't have a "VGA" by today's standards, it's a db15 VGA, which has two rows of pins instead of three rows of five. It was purchased in 2003 and today it is called a monitor cable. What I've been told is that I can just go into the nvidia control panel and make the necessary changes there, but I guess I should find out if the nvidia driver support the tv first. Help...I don't know where to start.[​IMG]
