yeah usually thats all you need to do but depends on the TV

His dad is trying to help and I feel bad cause im sitting over here doing nothing but literally I don’t know much about computers like they do

@OofYeetEye Windows?

i hook my pc to my tv all the time

But, is it a CRT?

Yes @Grenade123

It’s saying it’s DVI but we used HDMI

This might be something you've already done but...Google it?

Aha

Juan is it a laptop?

Are you trying to duplicate screen or extend screen?

No it’s a pc

I'm frustrated that my laptop doesn't have VGA

We’re trying to get the screen to fit the tv

it needs to be on HDMI not DVI

I had to get an adapter just to connect my normal monitor

The tv recognizes it as DVI

press the aspect ratio button on the remote

eh

Its hooked up to the hdmi but the tv is recognizing it as dvi

Like they’ve got it hooked up and everything but it’s being retarded

@OofYeetEye are you using the TV as a second monitor or as the primary monitor?

The primary one for now

We’re using it to watch Netflix so we can lay down and just watch a video

do you have a normal monitor?

yeah might be a bust, mate. not all tv's work well with a pc

Yeah he has a normal monitor

True

@OofYeetEye so what exactly is happening? plug it into the tv, tv says it sees it, but nothing shows up?

No it shows up

The resolution and everything is just not right

screen all smooshed or like super large/small icons and the like?

Like the look of it is weird

thats how mine is the living room

Super small

i couldnt figure it out

Like square when the tv is rectangular

actually its possible to change the resolution in Windows to match the tv
