Connecting Your PC or Macintosh Computer

Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your plasma display will enable you to display your computer’s screen image for an impressive presentation. The plasma display supports the signals described on pages 35-38.

To connect a PC or Macintosh simply:

1.Turn off the power to your plasma display and computer.

2.If your PC does not support SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA you will need to install an SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA graphics board. Consult your computer’s owner’s manual for your SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA configuration. If you need to install a new board, see the manual that comes with your new graphics board for installation instructions.

3.This plasma display provides signal compatibility up to VESA 16001200 (UXGA). However, it is not recommended to use this resolution due to image readability.

4.Connect a D-sub HD15 pin cable* from the side of the display to a PC or Macintosh®. For Macintosh, use a monitor adapter (not included) to connect to your computer’s video port, if necessary.

5.Turn on the plasma display and the computer.

6.If the plasma display goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed on the computer you’ve connected to the plasma display.

When using a Macintosh with the plasma display, the following four display standards are supported using the Macintosh adapter :

13" fixed mode 16" fixed mode 19" fixed mode 21" fixed mode

The 19" fixed mode is recommended for your monitor.

*Note: D-sub HD15 pin cables, RCA cables, and component cables, can be found at your local electronics store.
