So last night we wanted to watch a movie.  I have netflix and through it's view on demand service we decided to watch grindhouse.  So I hook my laptop up to our 5 month old 32" lcd tv, the movie played fine.  So this morning I go to turn on the tv and nothing, it's stuck in standby.  After some searching on google I come to find this is a common problem as somehow a power surge through the d-sub cable can screw up the mainboard and or power supply.  From what I have read if you want to use the tv as a monitor for a computer the safest thing is to use the hdmi port and a converter to connect to your pc.  Wish I had known this yesterday 

I haven't had the issue with the Westy.. But I did tell you the one issue you I have is that will sometimes come out of sync when it changes resolution... Just turn it off and on again or change inputs and it's fine.

Did the unplug for a day thing and nada.  I guess the problem stems from plugging and unplugging inputs while the tv is on.  I dunno exactly what TVs are affected but I know polaroid and I have seen posts about sharp and vizio doing this as well.
