Unfortunately I had to use the monitor for the xrandr command.

Anyway: the TV screen went off after the first few lines of this appeared, so I had to reconnect the monitor again. In that mode I am offered some options to change the screen resolution and it looks best at 1024x768. (Incidentally I had earlier tried Lubuntu and had similar problems to the ones that I am now experiencing, but the method of booting through recovery mode worked without problems) telling me that "Cinnamon is now running without video hardware acceleration" If I start up with the PC attached to the monitor in safe mode, and then go out of safe mode, ignoring the message which says "Please note that some drivers require a full graphical boot and so will fail when resuming from recovery" the TV Screen works at 1280x1024, but is slow to play video. When I start up with the PC plugged into the TV it sets it to 1280x1024, but I don't know this until I have uncoupled the back and plugged it into the old monitor, which displays at 1280x1024 but suggests I alter the settings to 1440x900. The old monitor likes things displayed in 1440x900, this also looks good on the TV screen when I unplug from the monitor and plug into the VGA at the back of the TV If I change the screen resolution settings on the old monitor the TV works fine, until I boot up with the cable plugged into the back of it, then some communication between the TV and PC screws things up, and I have to use the old monitor to sort things out.
