Whilst away I noticed that travelodge (here in the U.K) have upgraded all their old philips T.V's to nice new flat panels with loads of inputs, including VGA... however all the inputs have been locked out , as have the menu's , so after a quick look on the net I found that on LG T.V's holding menu on the remote whilst holding menu on the tv for a few seconds brings up a secret menu but after an accidental press of the menu I found it brings up the 'HOTEL TV SETUP'so...
PRESS MENU ON REMOTE AND MENU ON SIDE OF TV , HOLD BOTH UNTIL A MENU APPEARS ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE TV. RELEASE BOTH BUTTONS NOW PRESS 1 OF THE MENU'S AGAIN IT DOESN'T MATTER WHICH , JUST PRESS IT ONCE QUICKLY A SECOND MENU WILL APPEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN PRESS OK ON 'LG HOTEL MODE SETUP'
TURN INPUT SOURCE CHANGE TO 'YES'
CHANGE 'AV SETTING' TO 'YES'
CHANGE MENU DISPLAY TO 'YES'
CHANGE SETUP MENU DISPLAY TO 'YES'
CHANGE THESE SETTINGS BACK WHEN FINISHED...
this will allow it to act as a nice monitor for your pc, watch nice divx's on the TV or even play you console on the tv. There was also a DTV menu(these TV's over here are only set up for analog and have a terrible signal) which could come in handy maybe a homebrew dipole will get you a few channels too :)
