I tried those setting and it still didn't work. I went in to custom resolution and set the horizontal vertical pixel to 640 and 480 with a refresh rate of 60 hertz and still nothing. I thought I would give a link to my manual(listed under ws-55905 because it uses the same manual) so that you could get a pic of the back panel of my tv.http://tv.manualsonline.com/mdownloads/1fe7fa1e-b872-40b3-99e3-a59b56c7c482.pdf
thanks before hand

Are 30Hz or interlacing an option?

interlacing is, and in custom where I set it to 640x480, I can change the hertz. I'll try that and let you know what happens. Thanks before hand

still nothing. Is it possible that it's the wrong cable? Should I take pics. of the back of the pc and tv and post them. I just don't know what the next step should be.

You have presumably set the TV up correctly to receive that signal? Right AV channel, and any other settings you may need to set in the menu?

I can't say that I have. I'm am totally illiterate to the process of what needs to be done I just followed the directions you gave me early on in the post on the computer side I was not sure what changes needed to made on the tv side. Totally ignorant to what needs to be done, that why I am calling on your superior knowledge to situation. Please tell me what changes need to be made. Right now my input is on DTV which is the HDTV setting.

now the screen is green. I also have to mention that I have a Comcast HDTV cable box hook up through the Y Pr Pb rca jacks which come out of the same HDTV area, but I just hooked those back up,they were not hooked up through all the other testing.

@dtslammer
I use a Emerson 19" HDTV (It was only $20 more than buying a new 19" monitor). I was in a desperate for a monitor; My 19" Acer died and there weren't any sales. I set tv to pc and used the vga monitor cable with res set @ 1280x768. No problems!
Burn On,

Actually that hadn't even occurred to me that it's full size DB-15. I don't really have any experience of those.

So what do you think my next step should be s-video? I've had this tv since 2003 and I know it can be done I just should have tried back when the info was still fresh on the net and then I would have at least had an idea. I'm just lost now. Thanks before hand.

VGA on DB-15 is not standard. I have seen at least 2 or 3 different manufacturers with 2 or three different pin configurations for video on this connector. More than likely a proprietary cable is required.
Failing that, if you can get the pinouts from the TV you can make a HD-15 to DB-15 cable that will match the pinouts.
Based on what I've read in this thread that interface mat be switchable between RBG and progressive inputs.
I really think that some manufacturer support is required here since the TV is (apparently) using a proprietary interface.

so do you think a RGB to VGA cable will work instead, and if so, can I go through my dvd player (Bose model# AV3-2-1 ll Media Center)because the cable is running out of the ones on the back of the tv. thanks before hand

No. There are two separate issues here.
1. The electrical interface. We know that the PC is Analog VGA. We can almost assume that the TV is analog VGA. The different between rgb YPrPb has to do with how and where the sync signals come in.
2. The physical 8interface. As I said, VGA on DB-15 is not a standard interface and therefore you can't know what signals are where.
According to what I have read out on the web, this may not just be a simple cable. You may need something called an "vga to rgbhv" converter.
I really really think that you should be talking to the manufacturer on this. If you put the wrong signals on the wrong pins this is a (small) possibility that you could blow out the interface and then you'll never know if you get it working or not. Right now everyone appears to be "just guessing".
I think you first have to see if you can get the right cable.

Well I've been asking some questions, and I have found out that DB15 connection on the back of my TV is not a video output. On my model it was used as a control port for their Mitsubishe DTV tuner. So I know that I can't use it now.But the RGBHV to VGA cable can be used but my HD cable box is plugged there. So I was thinking about S-video and graphic card "sammorris" suggested one earlier in this post. "Dailun" what did mean about blowing the interface?

S-video will give you crappy, low-res output.
According to the brief set of specs I read on your model, there should be an HD-15 (standard VGA) port on that TV somewhere.
Is that what you're using for your HD cable box?

It's not a proper HDTV so it doesn't really matter. S-Video should be easier.

"Dailun" what is HD-15 and I'm using RGBHV for my cable box. Here's a pic. of the back of TV.
"Sammorris" Why is it not a real HDTV?

Because it does not support the resolutions required to be labelled 'High Definition' TV. It is one of the early designs that experimented with the concept.

What resolutions does it have to support. I looked and from I can see it says video display 480p and 960i.

480p is EDTV (Enhanced definition) - it offers a clearer picture than normal Standard def TVs, but is not high definition as the resolution has not changed. 960i is not a standard broadcast resolution.
To support HD, TVs must be capable of 720p. To support full high definition they must be cable of 1080i and 1080p - and must have VGA and HDMI ports.
