Connecting to a panasonic lcd Tv

Can anybody tell me what cable/connector I need to connect my macbook pro(new) to my 1year old Panansonic lcd Tv?

If the Panasonic has an HDMI Input then aim for that, depending on what adapter came with your MacBook Pro (mini display port to DVI ?) you should be able to find a cable that suits ...

My mac mini is connected to my panasonic LCD and the screen has gone blank

So here's what I did.
I plugged my old mac mini (10.4.11) to my Panasonic Viera LCD flat screen with a VGA cable. When it loaded up and i logged in i noticed the screen sizing looked odd - as in looked stetched. I then jumped into the display settings and must have clicked on of the options which for some unknown (to me anyay) reason the screen just went blank. I then cannot do anything as I cant see anything. If I turn it off and turn it back on again then its all good as before untill I have logged in and it loads the desktop - then it goes blank again.
Any ideas?

Look for a solution here:

Connect Imac to Panasonic TV

HELP!! I'm completely computer illiterate and I don't know what to do! I have a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter plugged into my IMAC (version 10.5.8). I have this connected to my Panasonic TV via an HDMI to HDMI cable. I thought this would automatically display the computer screen on the TV, but it doesn't. I have the TV set on the HDMI channel. Is there something I need to do to the TV or the computer? When in look in system preferences => displays, I can't see anything that would relate to the TV. Could it be that my cable is faulty, or is it just me that is faulty!!! Any help would be much appreciated!

My TV had its HD size set to 1, which turns overscan on, resulting in the loss of the edge. I changed HD size to 2 and now there is no loss.

MACBOOK DON'T CONNECT WITH LG FLATRON LCD DISPLAY

Hi friends!
I bought a LG FLATRON LCD DISPLAY Model M1994A.
My Macbook 13" have a 10.5.6 Leopard.
The fact is when connect de Macbook with LCD screen thru VGA cable and miniDVI adapter. Plug the miniDVI adapter, and the screen of Macbook blinking forever at the blue screen; the lcd has the message "NO SIGNAL"
If I unplug the miniDVI adapter, everything gets back to normal on the macbook screen. I plug it again, I get the blinking blue screen.
Tried rebooting, unplugging everything else from the external screen, no luck.
If I boot the macbook with the external screen on and the macbook closed, then it is recognized a little bit: appears the apple boot screen then blinking, but when I want to use both screens, it will blink again.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Regards from Chile!

May not be any help but, I have the LG W1952TQ and it works great with my MacBook. You may try going to system prefs, click on displays, then click on Detect Displays and see if that works, I had to play with the resolutions some and ended up selecting 1152 X 864 setting for mine.
Hope this helps ya,

Connecting Mac Book to LCD Screen

Can you connect a macbook to an LG LCD computer screen instead of buying an apple cinema display? And if so where can i get the cords/cables to do so??

Yes, you can. I had my MB connected to an LG LCD via a VGA cable. You'll need an adapter to plug into your MB. Chances are, your MB should have a Mini-DVI port - if so, you'll need this adapter (assuming that your monitor supports VGA). http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A

Connecting to a Panasonic TX-26LXD52 LCD TV

Hi,
I've been experimenting connecting my Powerbook (1.67Gz) to the Panasonic TV via SVideo cable. The problem is the best resolution on the TV I am getting is 1024x768, yet the TV is capable of showing 1366x768.
I've tried fiddling with SwitchResX but no luck, I sort of suspect the sVideo cable cannot transmit a higher signal.
Would a DVI-HDMI connection improve matters?
Regards,
Martin

For anyone else out there with the same problem...
Connecting a DVI to HDMI cable from the PowerBook or a Mac Mini to the Panasonic gives a fuller picture.
Problem is that the screen is too small (due to the overscan) or too large.
Using DisplayConfigX the best resolution (so far) appears to be 1280x690. There's a small amount of loss to the RHS but is not too bad.
The picture on the Panasonic is pretty good (at a distance).
Regards,
Martin

Can not get MacBook Pro 10.7.2 connected to Panasonic LCD projector to work

Any suggestions on how to get MacBook Pro 10.7.2 working with a LCD Panasonic Projector Model # PT-LB10NTU?

Thanks for the replys.
After spending an hour plus, uninstalling and reinstalling drivers and still not able to print, my husband, sits down, plugs in an ethernet cable, reinstalls the printer with the ip, and it prints. !!! I'd already done that , but that was before I deleted the preferences and installed the Gutenprint driver. I think it was the new Gutenprint driver that did it.

How to connect macbook to both LCD TV & external monitor?

Hi,
I would like to connect my macbook to both my lcd tv and external monitor. However, I only need either the tv or monitor to be on at any one time. Cause when i'm during my work, I need my external monitor. But when I wanna watch movies, I want to watch it only lcd tv.
Any ideas? Is there some sort of switch? I don't want to keep changing the display connections all the time.
I understand there is a usb display connection to the mac but I do not need both the lcd tv and external monitor to be on at the same time.
Thanks in advance.

You will need a mini display/dvi converter:

Macbook Pro connection to Sony Bravia LCD Color TV

I have a macbook pro and I'm trying to connect it a Sony Bravia LCD Color Television. The macbook detects the sony tv and brings up a dialogue box about it. However, on the tv it says no signal. Anyone have any suggestions as to why this is happening?

I had the same problem with a 1080i Bravia Sony and a MacBook Pro connected with a DVI-HDMI lead - it turned out to be a very simple solution - you have to make sure you are looking at the right AV channel on the TV. The mapping of AV1-6 to the ports on the back is not obvious at all (in this case it was AV4 that was the correct AV port). The Bravia also has the option to skip AV channels if desired - so if in the preferences you have disabled ports then you need to make them available to skip through.
The picture is very sharp indeed with a DVI-HDMI lead - far far superior to a vanilla SVGA cable. Sound is automatically selected from an analogue input (2xphono) on one of the HDMI ports so make sure you select the right one on the back.
(p.s. just to emphasize - the DVI-HDMI does not map to the 'PC' port it is another AV channel)

Trouble connecting Macbook to Samsung LCD TV

Hello,
I tried connecting my Macbook to my Samsung LCD TV (through a DVI to HDMI cable) but I only got a black screen and "No signal". The macbook detects the Samsung and even displays "SAMSUNG" as a detected display.
I checked the TV manual and there I found "Don't connect a PC or laptop computer to the HDMI/DVI connectors (it will result in a black screen)"
Does anybody know why? Any solution?
Will this happen with a MacMini too? I had the intention to connect it to my TV and use it as a media center

Sorry to tell you that DVI does not support sound. You either have to use a HDMI cable (with the appropriate adapter) or tap your audio output port with a 'Y' type cable configuration for sound.

MBP won't connect to external Toshiba LCD, MiniDisplay to DVI to HDMI

Brand new Mac Book Pro, 10.6.4, won't connect to external Toshiba 40" LCD display. I'm using a MiniDisplay to DVI-D adapter coming out of the computer. Then a 10' DVI-D (single link) to HDMI cable running to the display. When I connect the external display the MBP "searches" for a few seconds, but doesn't connect, and the Toshiba display reads: No video signal. This is with the MBP open and display on. BUT, sometimes when the MBP lid is closed, and I connect the display IT WORKS for a about 20 seconds, then the computer "goes to sleep" by itself, and the display shuts off. Strange problem... Also I've tested the computer with a 24" external Planar display (MiniDisplay to DVI-D), and it worked fine. Also the TV and DVI to HDMI setup works fine with my older MBP that has a DVI output. Any ideas...?

The adapter works perfect with other computers (mac pro and dual 24" displays). The problem only seems to happen with this new MBP, Toshiba TV, and the adapter configuration I described. I'm trying to find a friend with a similar new MBP, and try it with theirs. With so many components, it's hard to isolate the problem (especially when all the pieces seem to work properly on their own).

Connect MacBook to LG LCD TV?

Hi!
I am trying to figure out what cables I need to connect my MacBook (about 2 yrs old) to my new LG 42" LCD TV (I think the model # is 42LD450?)
Not sure if an HDMI cable would work or if I need an adapter for the laptop. I had also had a recommendation to get a DVI-HDMI adapter and HDMI cable?
Thanks!
Ashley

In addition to my previous post. It is likely that your TV has a "PC" input which should be a VGA connection. A simple VGA cable and 3.5mm audio cable will connect from the Macbook to the TV. You will need, depending on your series of Macbook, a MiniDVI to VGA adapter or MiniDisplayPort to VGA adapter.

New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
Thanks!

Hi There,
I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

Can't connect MacBook Pro to LCD TV

I have a S-Link mini display to vga adapter and whenever I try to connect it to my Samsung LCD TV or to my PC monitor, I have "no signal". I tried to detect displays many time and even rebooting my Mac, it doesn't work. What I have to do?

Hey V.Kastner,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues connecting your MacBook Pro to an external display, in this case an HDMI TV. The following article may help in troubleshooting this issue further:
