Connecting Your PC or Macintosh
Computer
Connecting your PC or Macintosh computer to your
plasma monitor will enable you to display your computer’s
screen image for an impressive presentation. The plasma
monitor supports the signals described on page 55.
To connect a PC, Macintosh or compatible graphics
adapter, simply:
1. Turn off the power to your plasma monitor and
computer.
2. If your PC does not support SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA
you will need to install an SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA
graphics board. Consult your computer’s owner’s
manual for your SXGA/XGA/SVGA/VGA
configuration. If you need to install a new board, see
the manual that comes with your new graphics board
for installation instructions.
3. The plasma monitor provides signal compatibility up
to VESA 1600 x 1200 (UXGA). However, it is not
recommended to use this resolution due to image
readability on the monitor’s 1365 x 768 native pixel
resolution panel.
4. Use the signal cable that’s supplied to connect your PC
or Macintosh computer to the plasma monitor. For
Macintosh, use the monitor adapter to connect to your
computer’s video port.
5. Turn on the plasma monitor and the computer.
6. If the plasma monitor goes blank after a period of
inactivity, it may be caused by a screen saver installed
on the computer you’ve connected to the plasma
monitor.
When using a Macintosh with the plasma monitor, the
following four display standards are supported using the
Macintosh adapter :
13" fixed mode
16" fixed mode
19" fixed mode
21" fixed mode
The 19" fixed mode is recommended for the plasma
monitor.

camera. To do so, simply:

or laser disc player.
2. Connect one end of your RCA cable to the video output
connector on the back of your VCR or laser disc player,
connect the other end to the Video input on your plasma

to your plasma monitor (if your VCR or laser disc player
has this capability). Be careful to keep your right and
left channel connections correct for stereo sound.
3. Turn on the plasma monitor and the VCR or laser disc
player.
