Using TV as a second monitor

[neonerd]

I have a Sony WEGA 27" TV, and I'm trying to use it as a second monitor. When I hook it up, and enable second monitor, the tv shows the desktop wallpaper, but it's B&W, and just keeps scrolling endlessly. I checked, and the fequency in Windows was set to 60Hz...the TV itself says 180Hz

Could that be causing the problem?

Have you set the correct TV norm for your country?

One should be a Vertical Refresh Rate on should be Horizontal. Not sure if that is the case there.

Additionally that happens at my school too. Im not sure why, but seems like a poor quality TV-OUT or Video Card. What are you using?

How do I do that?

In the properties sheet for the TV output. Dig deeply into the ATi controls.
