Right ive got a hp laptop and a samsung 37 inch lcd tv.Ive tried to connect the laptop to the tv using a SVGA VGA 15 pin Cable PC to LCD Plasma TV Lead but my tv isnt detecting the laptop signal.The laptop is set to external monitor and i cant select the PC bit in the tv menu on the tv.
BTW im running vista, is this the problem?

It will be av and not pc, it's just like connecting a dvd player or camcorder etc, you should be using vga.
