not sure what a DVI cable is.  My laptop has a vga plug and a s-video plug only.

the highest setting I can go to is 1600x1220  but even at 1280x800 I go off the screen.  I've tried to set on the tv hor. and vert. but it doesn't really make a difference for getting the screen all the way on the tv.

it is nice, just doesn't use the whole screen.

Thanks for your help
