I'm not into computers, but a DVI connection is better anyway...lots of newer laptops and PC's have DVI which supports progressive scan and HD signals...

maybe check the settings on the DVD program to be able to play from the output.

yeah...my tv doesnt have a DVI connection

but i will look at the dvd program like you suggested...i usually use realone as my media player

that's too bad man...DVI is defo awesome, HDMI and component too but computers don't use 'em

if you ever watch MNF or Discovery in HD, you'd swear you'd never go back

Set your TV as your primary display. You can only have the video on either screen at one time. Well, you can have it on both, but I don't want to go into that since I don't know what kind of video card and drivers you have.
