HP laptop with 52" LCD TV

I have this 52" lcd tv and am toying with the thought of using it as a monitor

Thanks

i think you can use HDMI port to connect your LCD TV.
then you can either use it as a clone to the first screen or extend your desktop.

  • [Solved] Old Thinkpad Laptop with HPA LCD + SM712

    I have some problem configuring X on an old laptop (IBM Thinkpad 1161-237 i series 1200 with an HPA LCD 12.1" 800x600 max resolution) ... I tried everything.
    I can start X, but I have a mess on the screen ... you can see the windows, but there are lines and pixel with randon colours everywhere. In other words a mess.
    I have a backtrack live cd, so I tried to see if the same problem come up with it: absolutely not, everything was fine. So, I checked up how backtrack configured X ... and I saw that it generated a xorg.conf file on the fly .... well, here we go I said. I copied that file on a usb stick and I putted it in the /etc/X11/ directory of arch .... startx ... and ..... same mess.
    The video driver is siliconmotion ... and everything is up to date.
                                 Thanks in advance
    PS: Obviosly I tried to use the various configurator ... the results was X up with black scree during the configuration but the file was generated ... using this one, same mess I told you above.
    Last thing. I also use hal (it starts from rc.conf at start up).

    Still no ideas?
    How could it be that the autogenerate backtrack's xorg.conf doesn't work correctly in arch?
    It's the exactly same machine, same configuration ..... I'm absolutely confused.
    It doesn't make sense to me.
    It starts X on arch with that xorg.conf, but the screen is completely messy ...
    meanwhile I've tried also hwd and other tools .... there is no way ... :-(

  • Laptop-mode / laptop-mode-tools lcd brightness issue

    I have an issue with my lcd brightness config in laptop-mode tools
    here is the brightness values
    [venky@ARCHROCKS ~]$ cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD/brightness
    levels: 72 24 12 24 36 48 60 72 84 100
    current: 72
    [venky@ARCHROCKS ~]$
    following is my lcd-bightness.conf file under /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d
    # Configuration file for Laptop Mode Tools module lcd-brightness.
    # For more information, consult the laptop-mode.conf(8) manual page.
    # LCD brightness settings
    # Using these settings, you can make laptop mode tools automatically adjust
    # your LCD's brightness settings. The settings are extremely simple -- they
    # only allow for the execution of a command, nothing more. The reason for this
    # is that LCD brightness settings are very different between laptop vendors.
    # Suggestions for commands:
    # * If your system has the file "/proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD/brightness" (VID may
    # be VID1 or similar), use this file as BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT, and use
    # the command "echo <value>". The possible values can be listed using the
    # command:
    # cat /proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD/brightness
    # * If you have a file /sys/class/backlight/.../brightness, then you can use
    # that file as BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT, and the command "echo <value>".
    # As far as I understand it the values are between 0 and
    # the value contained in the file /sys/class/backlight/.../max_brightness.
    # * For Toshiba laptops, use the command "toshset" with the -lcd or -inten
    # command. Read the toshset(1) manual page for more information on the
    # parameters for this command. If you use this command, set
    # BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT to "/dev/null".
    # IMPORTANT: In versions 1.36 and earlier, these settings were included in the
    # main laptop-mode.conf configuration file. If they are still present, they
    # overrule the settings in this file. To fix this, simply delete the settings
    # from the main config file.
    # Should laptop mode tools control LCD brightness?
    CONTROL_BRIGHTNESS=1
    # Commands to execute to set the brightness on your LCD
    BATT_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 24"
    LM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 100"
    NOLM_AC_BRIGHTNESS_COMMAND="echo 72"
    BRIGHTNESS_OUTPUT="/proc/acpi/video/VID/LCD/brightness"
    so basically while in AC power i want full brightness when on battery i want one notch more than the minimum brightness and when laptop-mode is not running i want 2 notches less than maximum brightness.
    the battery mode works fine when i unplug the computer but when i replug the AC power it goes to 72 instead of 100. I mean laptop mode is running coz when I remove ac power it goes to 24 again.
    Am I doing something wrong?

    When you plug in AC power, laptop-mode probably turns down, so LCD brightness is set to 72. It depends on if you have set in /etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode.conf ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE_ON_AC to 0 or 1.

  • Windows 7 Laptop to external LCD monitor show low resolution

    Hello,
    I'm connecting my laptop to external LCD 1920*1080.
    When Extend the display, each screen works with its full resolution allowed (Laptop has lower than 1920*1080 and the LCD works with resolution of 1920*1080), but when duplicate the display, the LCD has a black frame and the desktop is only at the center
    of the screen and not an all the screen.
    Is it possible, when duplicate the display, that each monitor work with full Resolution? or when
    dup the higher resolution will be according to the lower resolution?
    thanks.

  • XFree86 in Laptop with external monitor (Solved)

    I have a Dell Inspiron 8100, and my problem is that it's lcd display backlight bulb is not working.
    Is it possible to configure xFree86 to work in my laptop with an external monitor? I have tried
    to configure it but failed in getting it working. All I could get is an image full of mad green, white
    and black pixels. My external monitor is an AOC CT720g 17" CRT monitor.
    Sorry for my late response I was enjoying my vacations.
    I install xorg and xfce, it runs smoothly. The problem was
    XFree86.
                                Thanks in advance for your help,
                                                Nautivus

    Well you're right it works with the "FN + F8" switch in Windows.
    So now I know it is a hardware switch. I will try configuring it as
    my only monitor and with XORG. My video card is an NVIDIA GeForce2 GO.
    How I can configure it so I can use the hardware switch to alternate
    from one monitor to another?
    Thanks in advance,

  • I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
    Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
    Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
    My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
    I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
    The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
    I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
    The monitor works in my other laptop.
    Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
    I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
    Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

    1.  The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
    2.  In my explanation it states:  "I have the drivers on a disk"
    Thanks for all your help!
    Getting the drivers is not the problem.  Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
    Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.

    The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
    Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
    However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
    Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
    I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

  • How do I connect a mac cinema display to a dell laptop with VGA output?

    I need to connect my coworkers Mac Cinema display to his Dell Laptop with VGA out, running Windows 7. We have a VGA to DVi adapter, but it doesn't work. Do we need a different adapter or a driver? Thanks.

    DVI-I offered by most computers has support for up to a wider-than-1920 Digital display AND a complete set of VGA signals in it.
    If you have an adapter from DVI [computer] to VGA [display] it has no conversion logic in it and should be called a VGA extractor. It will NOT work the other direction.
    I think what you need is a better computer or a worser (VGA) display.

  • How do I connect Monitor without HDMI (but DVI-D) to laptop with micro-HDMI?

    I have a Samsung NP900x400D-A02US laptop... the video connections are:
    - a micro-HDMI
    - a "monitor port" (which the manual says supports 15 pin D-Sub interface.. or you can connect VGA adapter),
    I would like to buy the Dell Ultrasharp u2412M which has 1900x1200 resolution.... BUT it does not have an HDMI port.  It has:
    - a display port
    - VGA input
    - DVI-D with HDCP Input
    - USB ports (but I don't think it's the kind that will allow me to hook up thge monitor to the laptop with USB)
    How the heck do I connect the 2 of these... in a way that retains the 1900x1200 resolution?    if I can't find a good way I might have to find another monitor with HDMI....
    Thanks so much for your help!   It's a bit frustrating to sort through it all....

    I ended up finding it by item #, because I would have missed it, too.  I wasn't sure if the product image was correct until I saw  this: 
    Connector on First End: 1 x HDMI (Micro Type D) Male Digital Audio/Video
    You got it figured out. Hooks up exactly like you said. HDMI and DVI will result in same picture quality, but as you mentioned, HDMI doesn't carry audio. They are the same, for all intents and purposes, in all other regards.
    The DVI cable should have thumbscrews on each end, to help secure it at each end. The Adapter I linked has 'receptors' for the thumb screws, so the connection will be secure. The monitor should have the same 'receptors' for thumb screws. The weakest point of the connection, physically, will be the Micro-HDMI, so just be careful to not put pressure on that connection.

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    Cisco vpn client..
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now her password won't allow her into my computer, even though it says it's her account. Is there any way to bypass the password screen?

    I am trying to switch laptops with my mom, and successfully wiped mine and restored it, but now the password that she used on her computer isn't working on this computer. Is there any logical reason why the two passwords would be different, if I restored her information from a Time Machine backup? Aditionally, Is there a way to bypass the password page on startup to make a password that my mom knows?

    If Disk Warrior does not work you can try the following steps (but they may not work if the disk has a hardware error).
    Get the disk (DVD or CD) that came with the system (since you have it listed as 10.6.8).  If it is 10.7 or 10.8 use the Recovery partition to boot from or the USB installer if you have that option.
    Insert the disk then power down
    HOLDING the C key, power up to boot from the disc.
    Get to Disk Utility
    If Disk Utility will now show your hard drive, use DU to REPAIR the disk.
    When it completes the Repair process successfully as indicated in DU, do a shut down.  If Repair is not successful then an different course of action is indicated below.
    Then HOLDING THE APPLE (or Command key depending on your keyboard) KEY AND THE OPTION KEY AND THE LETTER P AND R KEYS, continue hiolding them until you hear the chime tone for the THIRD time then release all four keys.
    If REPAIR is not successful, use the Install disc as a boot and REINSTALL THE OS X OPERATING SYSTEM  DO NOT ERASE THE DISK OR VOLUME FIRST.  REPEAT DO NOT erase the disk or volume before trying to reinstall the OS X operating system.  After re-installing the OS do a software update.  Note that ERASING the disk is NOT required to do an OS re-install.  This allows your existing data and application files to remain.
    If that fails then you are down to the "bitter end" of erasing the volume and reinstalling the OS and then all the other software.
    If erasing the Volume fails then your last hope is to completely erase the entire hard drive, repartion the disk  and try a re-install.
    If that fasils then you may have a defective hard disk.
