Ki hdtv

what kind of cable do i need to connect my k1 idea pad to an hdtv?  what output do i use?

From the spec sheet the unit has a micro hdmi output.  If this is the case, I know they make a micro hdmi to regular hdmi adapter that would work.  They may make a regular hdmi to micro cable as well.
Do a little searching on Amazon, you should find something.

  • 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.

  • How to connect my MacBook to HDTV troubleshooting

    Hey All,
    So i went out and got all of the appropriate cables, i have a late 2008 black MacBook so I got the DVI to HDMI cable, and a separate cable for audio. I hook them all up, go to the proper input on my tv, and all i see is my desktop picture. No icons on the bottom, whenever i run a program (firefox, safari, anything) it does not appear on my HDTV. Do i need to have the MacBook closed (clamshell) after its hooked up and use an external mouse to make this work? what am i missing?
    thanks,
    chris

    With this adapter. You will also need an HDMI cable.
    The Thunderbolt port doubles as a mini DisplayPort on the MBA.

  • How to connect my Mid 2010 Macbook Pro to my HDTV?

    I have a mid 2010 macbook pro with a mini display port. I want to display it on my hdtv. I tried a mini display port to hdmi adapter first but that wouldn't work so then I tried a mini display port to dvi adapter connected to a dvi to hdmi adapter but still no success. Any ideas?

    I have your same model and I'm using a mini display port to hdmi when I want to connect right to a TV.  Is it not detecting, or is it a blank screen etc? What TV are you trying to connect to?

  • How to connect my Imac to my HDTV

    I have a 2007 aluminum Imac and a 50 inch 1080p HDTV. is there anyway I could connect my Imac to the tv and control it via wireless mouse and keyboard... The rear connections on the tv are 3 hdmi, 2 component, s-video and AV.. Please let me know what is easiest, fastest, most reliable and produces the best picture.. Thanks so much!
    Also I might get the new 13 inch macbook pro, what would I need in order to connect that?

    I am not familiar with this new mini-DVI to HDMI cable. Sounds interesting. There is a Mac user reporting an issue in trying to use one of these in the Intel-based iMac display forum. He is using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and an HDMI to HDMI cable plugged into a HDMI port on his plasma TV and nothing is happening. But he is also reporting the same issue with mini-DVI to VGA adapter and an VGA to VGA cable plugged into the VGA port on his plasma TV. So the problem may not involve this mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
    I use Apple's mini-DVI to DVI adapter connected to a Belkin DVI to HDMI cable plugged into the HDMI port on my LG LCD HDTV with great success with my new Early 2009 Mac mini. The Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter came with my Mac mini and I bought the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable at the Apple Store when I bought the Mac mini. Both are also available from the Apple Store online for US$19 each.
    The MacBook Pro has a mini-DisplayPort. Apple also has a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter for US$29. So that could also connect with the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable.
    I did Google for a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and there are a few 3rd party venders of this adapter as well.

  • How can I connect HDTV to iMac to use with Apple Color?

    Hey guys,
    I use Color application a lot and the colors don't look the same outside of Color app once they come back to FCP the project is on a dvd...
    Is it possible to use an LCD HDTV with the iMac for Apple Color to see the colors would actually look on a TV?
    If yes, please let me know...
    If not, then is there a workaround?
    Thanks in Advance

    Ben...no one mentioned the MXO2. Talking about the original Matrox MXO...connects via DVI. And it has Component and SDI outputs. Works with professional broadcast monitors. On that note, the MXO2 also has those connections.
    And a GOOD HDTV will work for many non-broadcast workflows. Not everyone does broadcast work, so they don't all need broadcast monitors.
    But, I'm sorry to say that the original MXO doesn't work with the latest batch of iMacs, nor the generation before this. It is old hardware designed for older machines. An iMac just won't work for this purpose. Sorry.

  • How Can I play iTunes on my HDTV without Apple TV?

    I am looking for an affordable method of playing iTunes on my big screen HDTV. In other words, I just want to mirror whatever is on my iMac screen on my HDTV. So I want ALL the iTunes features like the visualizer, randomizer, etc. to work without a hitch. Some people were saying they can't get the visualizer to work smoothly. And of course I want quality audio so I can utilize the soundbar on my TV to play MP3s.
    I do not own an Apple TV device but I own a Google TV device called the Vizio Co-Star.
    I was not able to find a Google app to simply mirror what's on my iMac onto my TV screen.
    I reseached and found that there are two apps I can purchase -  AirParrot and Reflector. Is this the best way of achieving what I want to do? Do I purchase both of them on my mac or do I need to purchase one of these and install on my Vizio Co-Star?
    Is there a better or simpler method? I'm up for suggestions.
    Thank you!

    It sounds as if you have an iMac that is over five years old, and therefore has a mini-display (instead of Thunderbolt, as found on newer iMacs) port.
    Have you considered a mini-display to HDMI cable connection?  Here is one (from the U.S. store):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/HFQL2VC/A/moshi-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-adapt er-4k?fnode=51
    I am certain a Thunderbolt port would transmit audio as well as video.  I think the mini-display port may transmit audio, but I'm not 100% certain.

  • How Do I Transmit Audio from My 2008 MacBook Pro to My 2011 Samsung HDTV?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to transmit audio from my 2008 late model MacBook Pro to my 2011 Samsung HDTV.  My MacBook's Model Identifier is MacBook Pro 4,1 (ancient, I know).  I purchased this DVI to HDMI cable which does a beautiful job of transmitting the video to my HDTV, but no audio (as advertised): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E8SY5Q/ref=oh_o02_s01_i00_details   HELP!!
    Thanks very much.

    I figured it out!  I plugged in my 3.5MM auxillary cable I use to plug my iPhone into car stereo jacks from the headphones port on my MPB to the "PC/DVI Audio In" on the back of my Samsung HDTV and voila! It worked! No additional cables (other than these two). No upgrading OS.  Yay!   
    Here's the auxillary cable:  http://www.amazon.com/AUDIO-3-5MM-JACK-AUXILIARY-CABLE/dp/B002Q3K0QS/ref=sr_1_1? ie=UTF8&qid=1330576344&sr=8-1
    This looks like a great workaround to the MPB to HDTV audio problem!  Hopefully my geek status is still intact.  W00T!
    When in doubt, try all the cables you have in all the different ports.  AV hasn't changed much over the years and you can often rig things to work with what you already have.  Yay for keeping cables out of landfills and repurposing! 

  • Unable to Capture HDTV with Firewire

    I would like to use the Firewire out capability of my LG HDTV and record video into the computer.
    I've connected the G5 and tried using iRecord 0.4 and VirtualDVHS. The TV recognizes the 1394 connection and will often tell me it is transfering data, but no application has received any video. The time counter will increment, but the destination file stays at zero size.
    I've downloaded FireWireSDK21 and looked over the applications and some of the source code. Wow, there is a lot to learn to figure out what is going on here.
    I've wondered if buying QuickTime Pro will help, I only hesitate to do this because in the past, as soon as I buy Pro, a new QuickTime comes out and I have to do it agian. I'll buy it if it will help. So, Will it help to have QuickTime Pro?
    I am also looking at some of AVCVideo applications in the SDK and wonder of these might be closer to what I want to work with. So, With Firewire, how specific are devices, i.e. do I want the G5 to look like a DVR or something else?
    Finally, iMovie seems to expect to see a camera and the video from the TV does not seem to look like a camera (iMovie tells me no camera is connected). Is there a plug in or tool to trick iMovie or add capability to it to act as a DVR? I've downloaded FireWireSDK21 and looked over the applications and some of the source code. Wow, there is a lot to learn to figure out what is going on here.
    Thanks! This was posted in another forum for a few weeks with no repsonses, this is the last chance.

    Vidi didn't work.
    The TV Firewire and Vidi had no compatible modes.
    I suspect that iRecord and VirtualDVHS offer the same capability. There is some setting on the Firewire stream that is compatible with none of these programs. Still looking for a solution.
    Thanks.

  • Can I connect my MacBook Air wirelessly to my Panasonic Viera HDTV

    I would like to connect my MacBook Air to my Panasonic Viera HDTV wirelessly, so that we can view family photos, videos etc on the large flat screen. Is it possible and, if so, how do I go about it?

    I believe you would need an Apple TV:

    FWIW, you are not running iOS (any version) on a Mac computer, it would be Mac OS 10.x.x (which is helpful for anyone trying to help you).

  • How do I use my MacBook Pro on my HDTV?

    I have a MacBook Pro and all of the necessary cables in order to display my computer on my tv screen. I have my tv to the right setting and connected to my computer to the DVI port. I have a LG HDTV when I plug my cords in my computer screen turns blue like it recognizes that it is connected to the TV but nothing happens on my TV and it still says that there is no signal. It has to be some sort of setting on my TV. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks. Also I was wondering if there is a way to run the sound through the TV using the cords I have. Thanks

    I agree with what you are saying, that his MBP doesnt have a thunderbolt port, and shouldnt work, but it will do so. It is the same port in essence being the same shape. It acts in exactly the same way as a DVI, if you want sound and picture, simply get the cord that i have recommended. My personal MPB also has a DVI port, and not a thunderbolt port, as i dont have the new version.  But for some reason it seems to double up as the same port, even though at first glance it seems to be a completely different port.
    A member of my family bought a brand new MBP only a few weeks ago, and decided to get  a thunderbolt to HDMI lead, no adaptors needed, and this gives both sound and picture not only to the late 2011 version, but to older versions also.
    Note that i have an old version MBP,  WITH DVI, and a thunderbolt cable gives me picture AND sound.

  • Is it possible to watch a movie in iTunes on my HDTV and still use my MacBook Pro?

    I have a Mid 2010 MBP 13" and want to use iTunes to play my movies. VLC and other programs give me the option to pick which display to use. My LCD monitor or my HDTV for full screen viewing. Is there an oprion for this in iTunes? I can drag the movie window to my HDTV and view it fullscreen but then my MBP screen goes blank.
    I would like to be able to use the MBP while a movie is playing.
    Thanks

    I did finally find a poat about this issue recently. It seems to have been going on since Lion came out. I solved my own problem, I just decided to buy an Apple TV to do the streaming to my HDTV.
    It works wonderfully.
    I do however want to thank all of the viewers of my post for thier helpful feedback about this issue.

  • G5 and HDTV

    I've been using a Panasonic HDTV as my G5's monitor for a while but the only drawback so far is the screen stretches beyond the visible edge... not by much, but things like the clock in the upper right are cut in half.
    I'm trying to figure out if it's the TV or the graphics card. The TV supports 1080i/720p with a res of 1366x768. The only res setting that works in sysprefs is 1280x720. Choosing other resolutions causes a distorted signal. The card is a GeForce FX 5200.
    The TV has settings for the size of the screen like normal, stretched, zoom etc. but these options aren't available for adjusting when I'm on the mac (HDMI input). But when I'm viewing cable (component input) I'm able to change the screen size or prevent it from stretching on non-HD channels.
    Could anyone help me understand where the likely problem lies? If it's a graphic card problem, is it possible to update its drivers? Would a new card help?
    Thanks in advance,

    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    After fiddling around more I was able to correct some but not all of the overscan.
    In case it helps anyone else, here are my settings which are specific to my TV I'm assuming:
    Active Horiz/Vert: 1248/710
    Front Porch Horiz/Vert: 120/10
    Sync Width Horiz/Vert: 40/5
    Back Porch: 240/20
    Scan rate: 45/60.403
    I read that increasing Front/Back Porches while decreasing the Active Horiz/Vert by the same amount would work. So I started out at 1280 horizontal and increased the front porch and back porch for horizontal by 16 each. Then I subtracted 32 (16 front porch, 16 back porch) from 1280 to get to 1248.
    I tried the same method for vertical but I could not figure out how to get the top edge to come down into view. As I tried increasing the porches and decreasing the active vertical, the vertical height just kept getting smaller. So if anyone has a suggestion I'd love to hear it.
    I am able to correct all but the top of the overscan. The menus, clock, user etc. are still cut off, but somewhat legible still.
    I have no clue what any of these numbers mean, this was just a trial and error (rebooted about 30 times).

  • Bad Picture Quality On SD Channels With HDMI And Panasonic VIERA 720p LCD HDTV

    I just bought a new Panasonic VIERA 32" 16:9 8ms 720p LCD HDTV TC-L32X1 for my in-laws when they finally had Verizon FIOS brought into their neighborhood last month.
    Install was by the Verizon tech using the HDMI cable I also had shipped to them.
    The HD channels quality is excellent, but the SD quality is smeared -- almost looks like an impressionist painting.
    It is not the TV -- the TV menus are crystal clear, as are the HD channels.
    And, it is not just the broadcast HD -- the DVR box menus are also smeared when viewing as SD channel, as is the guide and the pop up channel info.
    We've tried all the settings on the TV -- Zoom, 4:3, etc.
    The other TV (an older CRT) actually has better SD quality than the Panasonic.
    My research indicates we're not the only ones on FIOS with this problem. Someone suggested using the component hookup rather than HDMI?
    Other say that IMG 1.7 is supposed to solve the problem, that the SD quality was fine before IMG 1.6.
    Any suggestions, solutions, or updates?
    The picture is virtually unwatchable.
    Thank you!

    Joe01880 - Being a new customer as of last October, I have never seen anything other than IMG 1.6.  My understanding from other posts is that before IMG 1.6, the SD PQ on an HD box was just fine.  I'm not sure what the complaints/gripes/begs were for IMG 1.6 but it seems to me that, if Verizon knows what changes were made, it should be straightforward to determine which changes caused a deterioration of the PQ.  I think it's been at least 6 months since the first complaints of poor PQ, so I don't really see how anyone can claim that Verizon is in danger of "rushing" an update to address this problem.  I also don't think that a forum topic, no matter how much it complains or gripes, will cause Verizon to rush.  I am much more worried that during a large portion of my 2 year contract that the issue won't be addressed at all, so I'm happy to add my voice to those complaining."

  • I am trying to connect my HDTV to my MacBook Pro using a Mini Display Port to HDMI and the TV seems to not be receiving any signal. Is there something wrong with my TV or Adapter?

    Whenever I connect the minidisplay port to the HDMI cable, my MacBook Pro screen turns blue for a moment and then nothing shows on my HDTV. I have tried to "detect displays" with each resolution listed, but none seem to work with my tv. Is there any way to fix this issue?

    I keep saying this over and over, in the hope that people who do a search will find it.  Apple cannot possibly test for or be reponsible for the bazillion combinations of adapter, cables, and TV's out there.  The only monitors that are 100% guaranteed to work with the MacBook Pro are the Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays, because, they're made by Apple.  They're expensive, but they work perfectly.
    My guess is that you bought a cheap MDP to HDMI cable, or have a defective one.  From my reading of these boards over the past few months, cheap cables have a high failure rate.  And the regular priced ones have only a slightly less of one.  Try a new one.  Make sure you do not damage the Thunderbolt port.
