Hey guys,
I have searched for 3 days until every link in google, yahoo, lycos, and others have been marked as "previously viewed". No answers found. Anyway, I have a Sharp LC32DV24U Monitor and a Macbook Pro connected via DVG->VGA Dongle to the VGA input on the Sharp. The computer recognizes the displays presence and the monitors are set to "mirror". The input on the television is indeed input 4 as it should be. I have checked every resolution on the MB and to no avail. However, strangeness ensues... I hooked it up my first night here at school and the picture was just black on the tv. Unfortunately, I do not remember the res it was set at on the cpu when I gave up and just started checking around the web. about 5 minutes later, it all showed up on the Sharp perfectly. I had to rearrange my room, so I took everything apart the next day and reassembled it with the same signal flow and same outlets, although they had been disconnected from the outlets for a bit. This is when I started seriously searching. I tried every resolution and nothing. I unplugged the tv for a bit, back in, nothing. Turned on tv first then cpu and vice versa, nothing. I left the tv and cpu on several times for a few hours, on different resolutions, in order to see if it just needed time, and still nothing. I've read that perhaps the Sharp is refusing to display because the res of the computer is different from that of the display, even by just a little bit. I've tried the custom resolution programs, but I don't really want to spend money on this, as I know that it will work without it. I have the Sharp Remote coming in the mail this week, so I will be able to access the menu of the tv. For some reason, I cannot find the manual online, only similar models. Please help me I am burning my brain in my skull.
