HI , Welcome to the HP Forums! It is a grand place to find answers and suggestions!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide. Learn How to Post and More How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? I understand that when you connect your TV to your HP laptop via HDMI the TV screen flickers. If you connect the TV to your PS3 it does not. You have tried different refresh rates and resolutions but there was no change. Your notebook has HDMI version 1.4 supporting up to 1920 ×1200 @ 60Hz as stated in the maintenance and service guide. Please note chapter 1 page 9 under Ports. HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to try and obtain any HP updates? Have you done all your Windows updates? You can also manually check the HP Drivers & Downloads page. You will need to input your exact model and follow the prompts to display your recommended software and drivers. Please note HP is doing some updates to their web site and you may need to try later to access the page. You could try a different HDMI cable just to rule that out. To show appreciation for my replying please click the thumbs up button below. If this provided a solution please tell people by choosing solution provided. Best of Luck!

Re: Qosmio X300-12H - Screen blank if I connect the HDMI cable to my TV

Hello all,
I'd be most grateful if anyone could help with this..
I updated my laptop and then re-started to find that the screen just stayed blank after the Windows start up stuff. I eventually found that by removing the HDMI cable to my tv it all worked fine again;)
However, as soon as I plug in my tv with the HDMI cable the screen goes blank again:(
PLEASE HELP!!
Many thanks,
Sam

Hey!
yeah this is really strange, am getting the same issue with my X300-11T.
i connect the HDMI cable while my nvidia control panel is open it shows that the samsung tv is connect.
then shortly after the laptop screen goes blank. on the TV it shows Toshiba-PC in the corner but the screen is blank.
tried to use the FN keys, but no response. have to restart the computer and disconnect the HDMI.
tried messing with settings in the nvidia control panel, windows display settings, and control but still nothing.
running on vista premium 32-bit.
am not using the driver from the toshiba site though i got them from nvidia, am gonna try an see if maybe thats the reason.
is anyone whos getting this problem using the display driver from toshiba?

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,thanks, Derek

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek

"connected to HDMI cable"???

I'm continually getting a message "connected to HDMI cable". Then, up pops a screen for "select dock type". If I select anything on that menu, it takes me to a mode where I seemingly can't do anything. Also, as of now, my phone will only work when I hold it sideways. Any ideas?

This error has been continually happening. I have restarted the phone multiple times.
I have "force stopped" Motorola Dock Helper Service AND Motorola Dock Service upon your recommendation. I restarted the phone after doing so, and the error is still happening.
Just seconds after bringing the phone to life, a small "Select Dock type" menu occurs in the middle of the screen. It says to use Webtop OR Mirror on display. If I tap on the screen on the edges (not on this menu), I can get the menu to disappear. I can't seem to find anyway to make the phone function in upright position. the touch screen is only responsive when I have the phone positioned sideways.

Whenever i connect the hdmi cable to the tv and the power cord simultaneously on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion, the laptop overheats, i noticed in the activity monitor that Loginwindow was taking up to 80% of the cpu, any solutions?

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

Connecting a HDMI cable to my D20

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has had problems connecting HDMI cables to their D20 via an ATI FirePro 5700 cards.
I seem to not be able to get the cable to fit allthey way, and they keep popping out. It appears that the rails on either side of the video card back (i.e. where you connect DVI/HDMI cables to the back) seem to keep the cables fom going in all the way. I've been looking on the Inernet for HDMI connectors that might have longer connectors or thinner plugs, but have not been successful. I was thinking about using my Dremel to cut/sand the rails to create more room for the entire plug, or to sant some of teh casing of the plug to make it thinner, but both seem to be bad ideas, especially with regard to voiding warrenties.
Does anyone have any ideas.
Kind Regards,
AP
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Is your ATI FirePro 5700 from Lenovo, namely the option number 51J0510? If this is the case it has two Display Ports and one DVI, it doesn't have HDMI. Using the Lenovo Display Port to DVI adapter cable would be one option for you, another would be a Display Port to HDMI adapter.

Satellite C55-A5182 - Screen flickering after windows 10 upgrade.

Satellite C55-A5182: screen flickers after windows 10 upgrade....help!!!

Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I read your post on the HP Support Forums and I understand that you are having an issue with the Touchscreen on your HP Notebook - 15-ac020nr. You had mentioned that since your Windows 10 Upgrade, it no longer works. Have you tried doing all updates (Windows, HP Support Assistant, BIOS)?Have you tried restarting the Notebook a couple of times?Have you tried to run the Windows Troubleshooter? Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating for Windows 10. The HP Support Assistant will also help find a proper driver for you to use. Updated Windows 10 drivers will become available on the HP Drivers and Downloads Page for your product. They will be released as they become available to HP. I did find a troubleshooting document for you called Touch Screen Issues. Although it does say it is for Windows 8, it will still work for Windows 10. Please follow the provided troubleshooting steps and re-post with the results. Have a great day!

Apple TV worked until today. Message says unsupported signal check your output device. I have checked hdmi cable with another device and it's fine. Put on a different tv and same message. Went out yesterday and bought a new Apple TV and same problem.

Which TV do you have.
You may wish to try the following:
Press and hold the menu and the up button simultaneously on the remote for six seconds, the Apple TV should then begin to cycle through the various resolutions available to it at 20 second intervals.. If you see a picture appear up on your screen, use the remote to scroll down to the OK option and select it.

No hdmi port with this laptop?

No hdmi port with this laptop?

Only some laptops HDMI ports - of current models, the MacBook Pros do and the Macbook Airs don't. You can get adaptors from Thunderbolt (or Displayport on an older laptop, the plug is physically the same) to HDMI: for example this one.

Problems with screen resolution after connecting to HDTV with HDMI

Hope that somebody can help with this.
For a while I was connecting my iMac to my HDTV with a HDMI cable and a Mini Displayport Adaptor and had no problems.
The other day when I decided to put the sound through the TV (it was a quiet recording) and switched off the mirror mode my screen on the iMac went very strange.
The left of the screen was very skewed with strange colours and the actual wallpaper and icons was only on the right-hand side of the screen (I couldn't see the time, some icons, etc). The mouse pointer wouldn't go onto the left-hand side of the screen.
I have updated the software and when I now restart it - the resolution is incorrect and I cannot see the entire screen without scrolling across (although the strange stuff on the left-hand side isn't there). Whenever I now connect to the HDTV (using mirror screen) I get the same problem again.
Any help would be appreciated as I am fairly new to Macs.

Do you mean the screen looks like it's zoomed in ? If so then double-tap with three fingers to zoom out, and then make sure that Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom is switched 'off'

HT4241 i am trying to connect a hdmi cable to my mac book air i hit source list but not is showing on my tv can somone help me to fix it

i connect a mini display port to my HDMI cable but all i am seeing to the TV is the screen saver on the main screen i am unable to view videos on my tv can any one help

It's possible the TV doesn;t support the same rersolution as before.
Does the LED flicker when you press remote keys?
If so try holding menu and up arrow together for 6 seconds to cycle display resolutions.
If possible try a different HDMI cable/HDMI port.
If all fails you may need to do a restore as described here:

Screen flickering after 10.6.3 update

Hi,
Am using a Samsung 22" SyncMaster monitor with my 2009 Mac Mini connected via VGA with resolution 1680 x 1050 at 60Hz and after 10.6.3 update the screen flickers allowing me to see the desktop for around 1-2 seconds. Its really annoying but the only way to get rid of it is if i change the resolution to 1600 x 1000 also at 60 Hz but everything is blurry!
I checked the monitor manual and its recommended resolution is 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz.
Does anyone else have this issue and is there a fix?!
Thank you.

Yes, I have the exact same problem.
I had this problem in 10.5.X as well. When I updated to Snow Leopard this went away. Now with 10.6.3 it is back again.
I worked around this problem in 10.5 by installing switchResX and playing around with the settings for the monitor... I haven't tried that in 10.6.3 yet.
I hope Apple fixes this soon. Being forced to use 3rd party software just to use the mac is unacceptable.
