Connecting to a Personal Computer

You can use the PDP as a monitor for your PC. VGA is the most common type of computer connection; however, some computers also include DVI connections.

To connect to a personal computer, follow these steps:

1.Connect the VGA or DVI cable from the computer to the VGA In or DVI In connections on the rear of the PDP unit.

2.For audio, connect computer audio cable from the Line out of the PC to the Audio In on the rear panel of the PDP using a phono audio cable.

3.Turn on the PDP and the computer.

4.Press the TV/VIDEO button on the remote control or the SOURCE button on the PDP unit to view and set input sources. Select VGA or DVI, depending on the connection you have made between the computer and the PDP.

NOTE:

•To avoid burn-in, do not leave a still image on the screen for long periods of time. Screen savers may help prevent burn-in.

•The PDP includes Plug-and-Play capability, which allows the computer to automatically adjust its settings to match those of the monitor. Often, the image needs no adjusting. There may be some variations in the image due to different models or different versions of operating systems.

If there are problems with the image, however, such as flicker or an unclear image, adjust computer settings using the PDP’s on-screen menu. For flicker, you may need to adjust clock or phase settings; for an unclear image, you may need to adjust brightness or contrast. For more information, see chapter 4, “Adjusting the PC Display Settings”.

If you cannot improve the image, the problem may be in the graphic card in your computer. Consult the user manual or manufacturer for your graphics card to see if there are settings such as refresh rate that can be adjusted in your graphics card. In some cases, the limitations of the graphics card and its settings may require upgrading the graphics card to improve the image.

Refer to the following section, “Specifications for Computer Modes,” for details about supported configurations.

•With some graphic cards, DOS mode may not work when using a DVI connection. With some models of computers, the DOS or CMOS BIOS mode may not work with the PDP.
