Help Connecting Laptop To Tv

Hi I am trying to connect a laptop to a TV with a VGA cable. The laptop screen appears on the TV but keeps flicing on and off every 1 to 10 seconds. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    Probably the refresh rate is too high - try lowering it if you have the option.
  • I will try that tomorrow.

    The refresh rate is either too high or low. Check the manual and see what the refresh rate in Hz is then use the closest output from your PC.

    If your TV has HDMI input you should consider a VGA to HDMI cable which will vastly improve the picture quality too.
