  • HDMI Issue connecting laptop to HDTV

    Hi Guys - I had my laptop connected to my HDTV via HDMI. I had unplugged the HDMI to take the laptop on vacation. It's been awhile since I connected it. Now when I connect the HDMI, I am getting the visual but not the audio on the tv. What am I forgetting or do I need to change a setting on the laptop (Toshiba Satellite C855 S5350)?
    Thanks!

    I believe that you need to go into your audio settings when the laptop is connected to the TV and change the default audio device from the built-in laptop speakers to the entry marked "HD audio" or something similar.
    P.S. The cake is a lie.

  • Unable to connect laptop to HDTV

    I have a Compaq 620 laptop and Philips HDTV 42HFL4482F.The OS is Windows 7 Home Basic.The cable Im using is VGA. The laptop screen goes blank and the TV screen reads Video format not supported or no video signal. The Intel graphics media driver  version is 8.15.10.2057 and the accelerator in use is Mobile Intel 4 series Express Chipset family. Also the Intel Graphics and Media control panel says Monitor/TV settings not supported. The key fn +F4 option is of no joy. Can anyone help me please.

    Greetings, 
    After checking the manual of your TV there are a few things I would like to recommend. The first is to ensure that your source is on the VGA setting. You can change this by using the Source button. As well, ensure that you are plugged into the VGA in, and not the RS232 (Service Port).
    If these were both OK, I would reboot your PC after connection and see if you can see a boot screen on your TV. If you can, then more than likely your resolution is set too high. It is important to maintain a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or less. (1920 x 1080 is 1080P/1080i High Definition resolution). Anything larger than this, then your TV will not display your picture, or will display it distorted.
    We need to gather more information about your computer to assist you properly. If you could select the Start menu, then type dxdiag in the search box and press enter. After that has completely loaded, select the Save All button. Save that file to your desktop. Afterwards, on your desktop should be a dxdiag.txt. Open that file and copy from the top to the bottom of the Video section and paste it into this thread.
    Good Luck

  • Cannot Connect Pavilion dv6 2020sa laptop to HDTV using HDMI cable

    Hi
    I have tried to connect my laptop to HDTV using HDMI cable but it just comes up with a 'No Signal' message on TV, any ideas?  I have done a search on internet with no joy.
    Operating system is Windows 7
    TV is 32" LG LCD HDTV

    I have been having the same issues trying to connect my Laptop to my TV to use as a DVD player. A normal HDTV cable would not work. I went to Best buy, and found a HDMI cable that said "Laptop to HDMI cable" It was the only HDMI cable out of all of the HDMI that said "Laptop to HDMI". It was also twice the cost, $50.00 for a 10 foot cable. It seems a little to high in price so I am looking for a cheaper one on the web. If I find one, I will post to let you know.

  • Help connecting T60 to HDTV

    Hello, I need help to understand what I should do to connect my laptop T60 (1951-bs7) to my Panasonic HDTV (capable to display 1024x768 resolution.
    I just purchased a cable from VGA to component video (Y, Pr, Pb) but when I connect it to HDTV I don't get the video shown on TV, I tried all the resolutions (obviously after doing Fn-PF7 to also have the video signal on the VGA output) I can't get things to work other than a few green dotted lines for the lowest resolution.
    Are there any drivers I should update on my graphic card to allow component to be managed appropriately through VGA ?
    Last but not least, I'm waiting for the T60 advanced dock (I just ordered it), which also has a DVI output: can I expect at least this to work with a connecton DVI-HDMI ?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Paolo

    you could also try to see if there is an option to configure your laptop for that in Presentation Director.

  • Help w/ connecting MacBook to HDTV

    I want to be able to connect my macbook (black) to my LG HDTV. I am using the DVI adapter to VGA (RGB). All I get is "no signal" on my TV. When I tried it out w/my Dell (didn't need the DVI adapter since my Dell has a VGA input), it worked right away. Anyone know why I would be getting "no signal?"
    Thanks -
    Jen

    I used to have the same problem. I opened up the settings on my laptop while it was connected to my HDTV and under the Display menu I played around with the resolutions. Eventually one of them gave a signal to my HDTV. Hope that works.

  • Often lose wireless connection when using HDTV as monitor

    I have an unusual wireless networking problem when using my Samsung HDTV in my living room as a monitor for my MacBook (when watching Internet TV shows, for example). Frequently when I switch URLs, networking freezes, even though the connection appears strong, with the Airport symbol at the top of my screen showing all bars. To re-establish the wireless connection, I have to go through the process of re-joining my network through the “Join Other Network" option. The signal holds as long as I don’t try to change it, as in selecting another URL.
    I connect to my HDTV via HDMI cable, using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter from my Macbook’s video-out port. The audio connection is a mini-plug from the Mac’s headphone out jack to stereo RCA plugs associated with the TV’s HDMI port.
    The wireless connection is through a Lynksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz, 54 Mpbs Broadband router.
    I’d appreciate any solutions the Apple user community has to offer.

    I'd say this has nothing to do with your display. The problem will likely lie in either your router settings, network settings or a simple signal strength issue. Try first changing the broadcast channel on your router, and make sure all settings are correct for your desired network.

  • Connecting laptop to existing router connection

    I'm trying to connect my laptop to an existing linksys wrt54g connection.  I can get a good connection, and am able to successfully input my network key, but cannot get the internet to connect.  Trying to connect to a wpa2 connection, laptop has windows xp and service pack 3.  Any suggestion?

    If it shows connected ..... then check what is the Error message you are getting while connecting to the network ......

  • Connecting Mini to HDTV

    I've got my Mini connected to a HDTV via a DVI to HDMI cable and it seems I can't get the display size to exactly match my TV's display size. If I enable overscan then a noticeable amount of the screen is cut off on all sides. If I disable it, then the image is too small for the screen.
    If I connected via VGA then the image fits pretty closely, but there is still some overscan. Suggestions?

    Is your TV a rear projection TV by any chance? RPTVs are, by design, set to overscan the image to some degree and hence are not very good when used as computer monitors. They really don't have a way displaying full screen and native.

  • How do I get rid of "echo" lag on my Airport express when playback when I play music on my MacMini, connected to my HDTV?

    I have a MacMini connected to my HDTV; Whenever I am playing music from my MacBook Pro music library (via Homesharing through the TV) and airport express I get a one second delay on the airport speakers. Is there a way to avoid this?

    Not unless your sound system has a delay setting. Some do, to compensate for TV (for example) which can be slow at processing sound.
