    Everything works great with the adapter except for one thing. Once I wake the Macbook up from sleep, the TV doesn't detect it and stays "asleep". I would have to unplug and replug the wire. I've also notice that sometimes my TV would be full screen, sometimes it would have a black bar on the left and right side.

    Now I got other problems. I can't get the TV to work when I'm using XP. I also cannot install the VGA firmware because it says it doesn't detect a display, even I'm looking at the TV to update the firmware.

    Connect the display to the Macbook, go to Control Panel>Display>Settings, right click on the rectangle that's a bit greyed out, select Enable This Display.
