Phoenix on lcd tv ?????

[Guest]

I connected my MacBook (intergrated graphics card, bought in 2007) to my Samsung LCD with the Mac adaptor and VGA to VGA cable. The quality was rubbish. I used it to watch BBC iPlayer and in anything more than a window of 1/4 screen it was jumpy, pixleated etc.

All down to the graphics card on the MacBook I would guess but any other ideas what it could be?

Hi There,

Macbook pro running OS 10.5.7 connected with standard lead works just fine.
Went into a bod standard electronics/computer store in Perth Australia whilst travelling and asked the question about the lead. Guy sold me one for equivalent of 15 quid.....then being really smart I left it plugged into the back of the TV when I left the hotel .....derrrrrrrrrrrr

Cheers,

Bill.

Runs via a video projector in the shop without problem so you can have it super large, almost life sized - lol
