Default Sharp LC46XD1E PC connection problems

(Alos posted at AVForums.com, but thought I'd try here as well)

Hi folks,

Just bought a Sharp LC46XD1E 46 inch Aquos.

Connected both my PC and laptop to it and... nothing. The TV is working with
normal SCART input, and I've also made sure to extend my desktop, and the TV
is showing as a detected device with compatible resolutions and refresh
rate, but still no picture.

I spotted this in the specification at the site I bought from: "Input port
5: PC In (no RGB)". Is it significant?

Or what else could be wrong?

Thanks

Strutter: No, we agreed: No leader!
Randall: Right. So shut up and do as I say.

Perhaps I should be using a DVI to HDMI cable?...

OK, was my own dumb fault.

On the menu there's the option to choose between component VGA and RGB VGA.
It was set to component, hence wasn't working.

What this set like with colour banding? Have you tried playing a game on it,
is there any input lag?

I don't appear to have any banding, at least none that I can see. In terms
of playing a game, do you mean via the PC? I don't have an Xbox 360. I've
yet to try a PC game.

I was playing various HD sources yesterday via the PC, including some
trailers. Wow. The picture was just stunning. The first time I've really
seen HD, aside from a demo that was playing in a shop.
