The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Unable to connect laptop to HDTV through VGA.

Asked by Extortioner15 in LCD & Plasma, PC Laptops, Home Theater Wiring & Accessories

Tags: Samsung, LCD TV, LE26S81b, Connecting laptop to TV through VGA.

I'll just sum up the details:
I have an HDTV which I always used to connect to my laptop in order to stream movies and games. Usually my laptop would autoscale to the TV's resolution (1360x768) and it worked perfectly. A week or so ago it suddenly stopped working, and the only resolutions it will accept (the TV) are 800x600 and 1024x768. My laptop also stopped auto-connecting to the TV, but I didn't upgrade my drivers or anything like that.

When I select a resolution > 1024x768 and go to my TV (FN+F8 combo) it will just say "Mode not supported".
Now, I checked the manual, and from what I could gather I'm suddenly on VESA GTF instead of VESA (see this image I got from the manual: http://img388.imageshack.us/my.php?image=samsungresolutionvgaab5.png)

System:
Samsung LE26S81B
VGA Cable and 3.5 Mini-Jack
Dell Inspiron 6400 with Geforce 7300 Go

A big thanks and points for whoever helps me! :)
