    My SZ160P/C works fine with my 17" dell 1703fp lcd monitor but I just recently bought a 21" widescreen samsung 215TW and it doesn't work. The display says : check signal cable: Analog , as if nothing was plugged in. I have installed the drivers.

    try varying the resolution... maybe your graphics card can/cannot support certain resolutions...

    make sure you are running on Speed mode and not Stamina mode. Stamina mode doesn't support an external monitor.
