Previewing on a TV connected to laptop.

I just realized that my new LG Flatron TV has a VGA input so I thought that this would be a good way to see my video files on a good monitor before I burned them to DVD . I connected my laptop to the TV but then it said that the VGA input was 600x480 on the screen. The laptop doesn't have settings that go this low. Needless to say I never got to see anything on the TV. Is this a common occurrence or an I missing something?
