We are trying to connect a laptop to our new Sony Bravia TV, model KDF-46XBR2. Both the laptop and the Bravia have an RGB female 15-pin jack, and we have a cable that connects the two. We've read the manual, but it is basically useless.
Obviously, we'd like the PC output to display on the TV. Question: what else must we do besides the Fn-F8 to "toggle" the PC display? Which video input (1 through 9) if any does the PC use? Or, does it simply override whatever video is playing at the moment? Thanks.
Oh you should never read the instructions until all else has failed.
You have to change the input setting on the TV for one thing. ...you should have an ‘input’ button on the TV and remote.
We just did this today for our daughter (different brand of tv though), had to change the tv input to ‘pc vga’ with the remote and also reboot the pc.

To connect my laptop to my Toshiba lcd, the resolution has to be set to 1024x768 for the signal to go through. Could be the same in your case.
It took an astounding 30+ minutes from the time the post was first put up for the above reply to be made.
We're either slipping or it's a holiday weekend.

Input or Source button on remote. My Samsung has Source, not Input. Usually shows up on screen as PC, HDMI, Component 1, Component 2, etc. as you press Input or Source button repeatedly. Also make sure your TV is off when making the connection so your TV will recognize it when it’s turned back on. Good luck.
Nicely played!
Thankya, thankya...I’ll be here all week!
