Im trying to view some videos that are on my computer on my hdtv.
I have a dell inspiron 15 with windows 7 and
A samsung plasma hdtv 42 in model pn42a450p1d.

I bought a vga to vga cable online that looks like this http://www.mtsystems.ca/products_pictures/168/2.jpg
and connected it to both the laptop and tv.

My laptop detects the tv but my tv doesn't.
I look for the pc manually and still nothing. In order for the tv to change to the pc channel, it has to detect it.

Any way of helping me out?
