Hi,
I am well aware that this is a known issue but it appears that some people managed to solve it. That's why I desperately ask for help anyway.
I have already read the following threads dealing with the same problem :
Does anyone know if this is true? (Connecting Vaio laptops to Samsung LCD TVs)
External samsung monitor not recognizing signal from SZ1XP
Problem connecting Tv as external display
I can't connect my vaio to an external monitor...help...
When I try to connect my Vaio laptop (VGN-FJ1S) to my Samsung LCD TV (LE26R73B) through VGA cable, it appears that the TV receive no signal : in the sources menu of the TV, the PC source is disabled. However the laptop seems to detect the TV since it displays a max resolution corresponding to the one of the TV (1366x768, actually round to 1360x780) in the monitor poperties.
I have already try the following tests :
- deactivate the VAIO Event Service
- update to the last version of the VAIO Event Service (2.3.00.08110)
- test with another VGA cable
- display the output of another laptop to the TV : OK
- display the Vaio's output to an Acer LCD monitor : OK
- reboot the laptop while VGA cable is connected
- turning the TV on before and after connecting the VGA cable
- displaying the output of another laptop on the TV, then unplugging the cable and replugging it to the Vaio to see whether the TV can retrieve the signal (strange, but some managed to do it) : it failed
Do you have any other ideas or solutions ? Is there really a known hardware incompatibility ? Did Sony attempt to fix it by any way ?
Thanks a lot if you can help !

PS : Sorry for those who already read my post in french version .
I solved the problem with the Sony Utilities update (6.4.0.06290) which fixes the following issue : "Improved connectivity to specific monitors".
