I am trying to connect my early 2008 macbook pro to my samsung hdtv using the dvi to vga adapter that came with the mb pro package. When I connect the macbook pro to the tv, it works perfectly like an external monitor for a few seconds, then the tv goes black. Am i doing something wrong? Or is it the vga at fault?
Got a tip for us?

Your TV might have other forms of input, like DVI or HDMI.
Maybe you can use a different adapter.
Also, what does System Preferences > Displays say, when you connect your MBP to the TV.

). So I just purchased a DVI to HDMI cable and hooked it up like that and all works well.
