So i tried to connect my xbox to a Samsung HDTV, don't actually know the model, with a VGA cable which i also used on my monitor and it worked fine.
But on the Samsung TV when i change to PC or any other mode it either says no signal or unusable signal (on the pc mode).

Hey mate,

Can you clarify what exactly is your problem. Is it that the PC won't display when connected to the TV or a different problem?

Cheers,

Hey :wave:

As Redeye3323 says, can you please elaborate it a bit so we can get a vivid idea of what the problem actually is?

Keep us posted.

Okay i was in a hurry and did not describe the problem well.

The TV has 3 modes apart from it's normal channel surfing mode.

Ext. 1.
Ext. 2.
and PC which only can be selected when a VGA cable is connected.(In my case the one from my Xbox)

But when i switch to PC mode (while having the xbox connected) it says something like unusable signal.
The other 2 modes just say no signal.

Hey mate,

I believe there is probably a compatibility problem. It may be worth trying your PC through the TV to check that the port actually works.

I solved it!

It was a resolution problem.
I changed the resolution while on my monitor and it seems my tv did not support 1680x1080.

Thank you for the assistance though.
