    hello!
    most of you guys with all of your knowledge impressed me enough to buy the fl90 in the first place, but now i am wondering if you could help me out. i am trying to get netflix to play through the 4 prong s video on my 40" lcd tv. i am using a headphone jack split into a red and white rca plug for sound but can get absolutel no video to play...i can hear the movie, but can't see it. is it a hardware issue, software issue, or just a basic compatability problem between the 720p tv and the fl90? any help is appreciated and any info that you need to answer the ? just ask...i'm confused and irritated after spending the last 10 hours on my own just trying things out. oh and by the way i'm running windows vista home premium sp1

    thanks for the help

    Have you tried pressing Fn+F3? Press it until the TV screen is selected or go in the Nvidia control panel change the video output there.

    i did press the fn and f3 and all that happens is the first time you press it the resolution changes to almost nothing...i mean it looks like they drew the icons in crayons. the second time you push it the screen on laptop goes blank, but there is still nada on the tv. the third time you push it everything goes back to normal....i don't know it's wierd...like somethings not compatible...could it be netflix??

    That means that the TV is detected and the display is cloned. When the screen goes blank the display signal is entirely sent to the svid output... Are you sure you put your TV on the good output? Or tat there isn't something on the Tv you have to activate? Because from what you said. The laptop is detecting the TV and sending a signal to it. So the problem right now is at the TV level...
