I haven't tried this myself. What I have is an LCD TV with a PC input. If I connect it to my laptop while the laptop is turned off and set the TV to take it's input from the PC input it is seen by my laptop. Not only that but the laptop configures itself and the TV to the same resolution and both displays come on. The only thing is that the TV manual says it's maximum resolution is 1280x768 whereas the laptop's is 1280x800. What actually happens is they both come up at 1024x768. Maybe something similar will happen if you try this.
