T500 With Display Port TV Hookup

I'm starting a new thread here because the other one dating back to January seemed to have gone cold. Hope someone can help with a solution. 
 I am going from T500 display port to HDMI via an adapter cable and have my audio cables attached to audio ins on the same TV  input as the HDMI. (It is my understanding that the HDMI/display port on the T500 does not support audio.)  I can get sound or picure but not both. Whenever I plug  the HDMI cable into the  TV,  the audio is diabled, unplu HDMI and audio returns. I spoke to Sony (my TV brand) about this at length to someone I think was about as qualified as  the Lenovo techs about my problem and she finally said I needed to change audio out on computer to analog. I  do not know how to do this, probably do not think it necessary and last think it was her way of saying goodbye!
Anyway, I still have the problem. I have connected previous computers through s-video and audio cables and that works fine but, alas, my Lenovo has no s-video.  I would welcome your insights or at least a little intelligent conversation about this.
Thanks, Dave

Does it work if you plug it into a different source? What if you plug the cable directly into the T500's onboard DisplayPort?

  • IMac 27" with display-port pc

    Hello all!
    I'm thinking about buying a used iMac 27" with the following specs:
    Intel Core 2 Duo
    iMac10,1
    3,06 GHz
    4 GB
    I'm guessing this is the late 2009 model?
    I really want to use this as a monitor for a new desktop I'm building. My question is; will it work with every pc that has graphics card with display-port ?
    Many thanks in advance!
    Message was edited by: iTim

    Yes, the 10,1 is a late 2009 model. If it will work depends on whether the pc graphics card will supply Mini DisplayPort compliant signals.
    Here is some information on using the 27" iMac in Target Display mode:

  • Frustration with Display Port

    Hi All,
    I am having a really annoying problem. I have a T430 hooked up to a Dell monitor via the Display Port (mini to regular converter, and then a cable that came with the monitor. The cable has a big D on it so I think it's a DisplayPort cable and not HDMI).
    After the monitor shuts down due to idle period, I need to unplug and plug in again the cable so it works again. Sometimes I have to do this several times until it takes. Rarely, it causes the computer to freeze entirely and there is no display and no response.
    Sometimes, when I play an online game, the transfer to full screen causes it to happen and I need to do the unplug-and-plug trick.
    I'm completely updated with Windows and Lenovo updates (via their update tool).
    Has anyone stumbled across this?
    Thanks!

    Does nobody know anything about this? It's definitely an issue with the laptop, because going in and out of a game makes it happen and I have to disconnect and reconnect the cable again.

  • Display Port DVI HDMI no longer interfaces my TV with 10.7 lion.

    I have used successfully used my LG 720p tv with a Apple branded Display port --> GE branded Dvi adapter followed by a dvi --> HDMI adapter directly into my TV.
    Upon upgrading to Lion (10.7) two days ago I discoverd that my MacBook Pro no longer recongizes the connection. Both the Mac and TV initially try to interface (Macbook bluescreens, TV says connecting) I've checked all the connections and nothing seems to be broken.
    I have also tried my other Display port --> VGA adapter and this also unsuccessfully links...
    Has anyone expierenced other issues with display port functionality after the upgrade to Lion?

    I am also having a similar issue with my MBP 17" Mid 2010 and my LG tv. It flashes and tries to connect but doesn't successfully pair. Both over HDMI and VGA.

  • T410s display port no longer works after lenovo / win7 upgrade

    Arrggh...  I have a Dell u2711h monitor that i connected to my t410s via display port.   It worked fine until i did a lenovo driver updateand windows 7 update.   Now, it just goes into powersaving mode with the display port.   I backed out the windows7 updates, went back to a windows restore point from when i knew the dp worked, uinstalled / reinstalled the lenovo drivers for nvidia nvs 3100m optimus, audio, etc. 
    The HDMI cable works, the monitor works with display port off of another PC, but no longer on my t410s.   Anybody have any ideas?   I spent a lot of money getting a big monitor with a high resolution trhough dp, but now i can't use it.  Very fustrating.   
    Any ideas?

    Hi dft410s,
    Please try in BIOS to isolate hardware/software issue. If problem remains, please contact local lenovo for machine inspection

  • Any Mini Display Port to Display Port cable?

    I am going to buy a new 30" DELL monitor which equipped with Display Port, but I cannot find any Mini Display Port to Display Port cable, so what can I do?
    Don't tell me to buy a Mini Display Port to Dual Link DVI cable, it is nonsense to change the type of connector and buy that expensive cable.

    There is at least one that I know of.

    I have it and am doing with it exactly what you want to do and it's working great.

  • Is display port and mini display port the most reliable way to connect to U2515H and alike?

    It seems that there are a lot of horror stories with HDMI or DVI-to-HDMI, like not able to get 2560x1440 on U2515H.
    So, is using the display port or mini display port the safest way to get U2515H working?
    Which cards with display port so far work best with U2515H? Any recommendation?

    What is Target Display mode?

  • New MBP thunderbolt to imac 2009 display port?

    Hello,
    Im confused.  I have a new late 2011 MacBook Pro with Thunderbolt and
    a 2009 iMac 27" with Display Port.  If I purchase the thunderbolt cable
    can I use that to use the iMac display as an external monitor for the MacBook Pro?
    thanks

    Have a read here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/30822.html
    To use a MiniDisplayPort-iMac as an external display for your ThunderBolt-MacBook Pro you need a MiniDisplayPort-to-MiniDisplayPort cable.
    ThunderBolt cable would only work when the iMac also has a ThunderBolt port.

  • I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my TV with a mini display port to HDMI converter. Its not working. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to my TV with a mini display port to HDMI converter. Its not working. Any suggestions?

    Depends on your model TV.   Read your TV user manual.  The newer models have "how to hookup" instructions for computer & games.
    You can also do a forum search as well as a Google search.

  • T500 display port

    I have a t500 model 2081. I can't seem to find a user manual that tells about the display port. I want to connect my display port to my tv by an hdmi cable.
    1.Does my computer support display port to hdmi?
    2. Is there a way to do the conversion? (lenovo has a cable to dvi but I don't see one to hdmi)

    Hi tom2009,
    Welcome to the Lenovo forum 
    If you Google displayport hdmi cable you will see many options. I'm using a DisplayPort-DVI-D cable right now with my T500, it works fine. DVI-D and HDMI are the same electrically, except for the audio signal. You should have no problem driving HDMI video from your T500 with the proper cable. Audio, I'm less sure of; maybe somebody else can chip in?
    Good luck,

  • How do Dual Monitor with my Mac Book Pro (Boot camped with Windows 8) through my mini display port VIA Thunderbolt to a iMac (Model Mid 2011)?

    So I have a Mac Book Pro with a bootcamp Windows 8. I dual monitor on the Mac side with my Mid 2011 iMac through my mini display port via thunder bolt cable. In my perfect world, I would be able to switch to the Windows side and have the iMac mirror or extend my windows display for my gaming pleasure, etc. I'm not sure if it's just a simple driver or that it cannot be done. Please help. Thanks.

  • Help using a mini display port to HDMI cable with MacBook Air and TV

    Hi, Apple gurus. I need help setting up my MacBook Air to my Vizio TV using a mini display port to HDMI cable that I just purchased on Amazon.
    And here's info about my MacBook Air:
    In the Amazon reviews, someone posted the following how-tos, which aren't working for me:
    1. Plug in both ends, mini display port on your macbook and the HDMI on any available port on your LCD.
    2. Go to upper left Apple menu and scroll down to system preference. Or use your FINDER from the dock, go to applications, then system preference.
    3. Click on Displays
    4. Click on DETECT DISPLAY
    5. A similar screen pops up with name of your LCD, mine says SONY LCD, click on ARRANGEMENT
    6. Click the box that says MIRROR DISPLAYS.
    7. Go back into system preferences and go to SOUNDS which is located under HARDWARE.
    8. Click on OUTPUT, then select HDMI, which should be listed next to your LCD name.
    I ran into trouble at step #4. My MacBook Air doesn't list the option of "detecting display." I do, however, have the box mentioned in step #6, "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available."
    Regarding step #8, HDMI didn't appear in the list — I only see "internal speakers."
    So, what am I doing wrong? Or, did I buy the wrong cable?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Or you need to get an appropriate adaptor. The Griffin adaptor sold on Apple's Online Store will work with a standard HDMI cable.
