Video is lagging behind the audio. How can I fix this?

Sep 20, 2005 5:02PM PDT

I recently just purchased the Qosmio G25. I hooked up the digital cable box to my laptop. I connected the two by S cable. When watching TV the video lags behind the audio. How can I fix this?

Just asking. Why not call it in and make it a warranty issue so they fix, replace or refund?

This is a monitor or TV????? If it's a TV hook the cable directly to it and see if you have the same problem.
What program are you using on your laptop???? John

Note: If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem.

It would be a shame to get stuck with a bum laptop.
