    Hey guys I have a couple questions about the VGA-out on my Latitude. I have been trying to output video, etc. from my laptop to my Plasma TV with a VGA to RGB+HV cable and it works fine when I'm just looking at the desktop, but as soon as I start to watch a video I get these faint horizontal lines appearing on the tv when there is fast movement in the video. My question is, is there any way to get rid of these lines and make it so that the computer outputs video over VGA clearly? And also, I can't just set it to Presentation Mode: On (Fn-F8)so it only displays the picture on the Tv and not the Laptop because when I do, both screens just go black. So I'm thinking it may have something to do with the video card drivers, btw I have the Nvidia Quadro NVS 120M. If i were to try and update them, should I get them from Dell's website or from Nvidia's website? Thanks in advance!

    You can enable presentation-mode by using the Dell Quickset tool and Display properties. Thank you.
