Outputting computer to a Phillips TV 27ST6210/27 ?
At a hotel that has a Philips 27" real flat commercial TV 27ST6210/27....
It has the requisite inputs, both back and side, for connecting the video feed from the computer.
I've tried both back and side inputs, the red/yellow/white RCA inputs as well as the S-video inputs.
It appears that the problem is that with this model, I can't figure out a way of forcing the tv to AV1 or AV2.
There's no switch, and hunts for the owners manual have turned up fruitless.

How about a cheap universal remote?

I found the manual with a Google search.
If the TV is in "Standard" security mode, you can access the menus by typing 319753 and then press the mute button.
If the TV is in "High" security mode you won't be able to access the menus without a special remote.

No joy, though.

Going to be staying at that hotel again. What would a universal remote do and how would I do what I need to do with it?

I had trouble accessing the security mode, it turns out is was the phone line connected to the back of the television. I recommend the following steps to get access to the side or Aux inputs.
Disconnect the telephone line on the back of the TV.
Access the menus by typing 319753 and then press the mute button.
Menu should now be up, scroll down and select "Channel Install"
With "channel" highlighted press right arrow on remote to bring up AUX setting
Next scroll down to "channel ring" and change to "saved"
This will allow to to access the Aux inputs by using source button on remote or by scrolling down below channel 02.
FYI, when you plug the phone line back into the TV the hotel settings are reset and you will no longer have access to the Aux inputs. So don't plug the line back in until you are down watching your movie.

Nice first post, Sky. Welcome to FT.
As Sky notes, most hotel TVs are crippled on purpose. I wish I could take their flat panels out of permanent wide screen mode and change them to zoom mode.
The remodeled Sheraton Gateway at SFO has all sorts of tv inputs on a panel near the tv. I bet it would work there.
