I just bought a RCA 32" HDTV (L32HD31R) and i've having a few problems. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Now for the questions:
1) Im trying to hook it up to my computer. I have VGA input on my tv, when i plugged my computer into the tv the screen just stayed blue (although the "no signal" on the tv went away). Do i need to do anything else? I looked online for help but couldn't find much , only that maybe i dont have a good enough graphics card. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE Graphics card in my computer.
2)I cant seem to get my tv programed to my TWC remote (model UR5U-8400). I have tried all the program codes I can find but none seem to work. Somewhere i saw you can just hit channel up to search for the codes but i have dont this for forever with no luck.

ok, those are the questions for now, but im sure there will be more to come. PLEASE HELP!!

1) assuming you have windows, you need to go into the Display control panel and click the settings tab. you should see 2 displays there, click the one that isn't your monitor and check the "extend my windows desktop..." box. click ok, voila. if you don't see 2 monitors, you need to rescan for displays... or just reboot your computer.

2) http://universalremote.com/resources/pdfs/UR5U-8700_8720.pdf take a look at that, i think your remotes are similar... the 8400 is an old ass remote.

1) I only have one VGA output on my computer...i was planning on using my TV as my monitor. in other words, i cant go to settings because i cant see anything. i've tried rebooting my system but that hasnt worked yet.

2) still no luck. if i go to twc can they give me a newer one?

What size monitor and what resolution were you running before you swapped to the TV

You need to lower the resolution of the computer via the control panel. The computer is more than likely set to display at a resolution that your TV is incapable of.
