cannot output to a tv properly

[gooberguy]

i have my minidv to vga adapter, and have that plugged into my panasonic tc-l42u12 model tv. no matter what resolution i use, i cannot get it to output a widescreen picture. only a 4:3 picture.

i tried using switchResX to make a custom resolution of 1920 * 1080 but still would not display a picture

any ideas?

Read page 48 of the users manual that came with the TV.

http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/TCL42U12.PDF if you can't find the paper copy.

Maximum Resolution of the PC/VGA input is 1280x1024.
