i have an Aquos Sharp tv and i use it as my pc monitor. it works fine for browsing the internet and such but when i try playing some games it tells me the signal is incompatible. By the way im trying to play starcraft when it tells me, could it be because its an old game? my father has plays his games with no problem but the games ar more modern.

Its probably the resolution the game is trying to run. Try setting the resolution to a native resolution for your TV. For example use your desktop resolution for the game and try starting it up and see what happens.

I know some widescreen tv`s cant show 640x480 and thats what starcraft run at I think.
