I am trying to connect my Acer Aspire One to my Philips 32" 32PFL3614/12 TV using VGA to SCART.
First, I have to say that I can successfully connect my PC to my 17" Philips monitor. When this happens, in Display Settings/Screen Resolution I see the two connected displays:
- Mobile PC Display
- Philips 170S
Back on the TV problem, when I first connected it and it did not succeed, I messed with the settings: extend, duplicate, etc. Sometimes I saw that it did allow me to select high resolutions, the ones for the TV. Additionally one time the correct TV resolution was selected by default.
However I did not see anything on the screen and cannot remember how I did this. Also, instead of showing the name of the TV, as it happens when I connect it to my 17" monitor, it shows a Generic non-PnP monitor.
What do you suggest me to do?

I got myself one of these devices back when I tried this
It worked pretty well and the signal wasn't bad. The device actively converts VGA to the composite signal.
4I have seen a number of users reporting issues using SCART as there can be sync issues. Are you able to obtain a USB to HDMI converter? While not inexpensive, they seem reliable One example Startech Adapter What model of Aspire One do you have? There are also VGA to HDMI adapters but usually more expensive.
