Connecting LCD Computer Monitor to HDTV

Jul 10, 2010 12:28PM PDT

I own an Envision LCD-G918w1 Computer Monitor...(Unlike my Old Monitor when I connect my 2 Side VGA cable to my HDTV) I NO LONGER GET A CONNECTION. My HDTV has a Connection for VGA along with HDMI and Composites 1&2 and Components 3&4, as well as TV and DVD.
ANYONE KNOW WHY, WITH THIS PARTICULAR MONITOR, I CANNOT CONNECT IT BY VGA TO MY HDTV?

I was able to Connect my (Old Monitor) to my HDTV with VGA cables, but this New Monitor shows NO CONNECTION when the VGA Cables are connected?
Am I missing something here?

I'm not sure if you're trying to be antagonistic or if you geniunely don't know what you're talking about? If you don't have any (REAL) suggestion for solving this problem, don't bother to post this nonsense.
IT IS NOT ONLY (POSSIBLE) TO CONNECT VIA VGA CABLE YOUR COMPUTER MONITOR...SO THAT YOUR (DESKTOP) APPEARS ON YOUR HDTV...I WAS ABLE TO DO SO WITH MY PREVIOUS MONITOR!
I AM ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE FROM ANYONE WHO HAS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE (ENVISION LCD G918W1) MONITOR, AND ANY SUGGESTION ON HOW TO (SUCCESSFULLY CONNECT IT TO MY HDTV)?
Anyone out there got any (REAL SOLUTIONS)???????

Thanks
