This can also be accessed from the hardware and audio section of the control panel.
You may also have to change the audio settings to use your monitor's speakers. Depending on the resolution of your laptop and monitor, you will have to change those settings. Keep in mind that older laptops will not be able to have the same resolution as newer ones and that there may be a discrepancy between your laptop's resolution and the resolution of your monitor. Go to settings and click on display options to make sure that the resolution is set correctly. That way, your screen will only appear on the external monitor. You will see a few options for how you want to display your laptop to the monitor but choose 2nd screen only. Open up the project menu by hitting the Windows key + P. Using a large monitor will change the resolution of the image on the screen. Once you have changed the power settings, you have to make sure that the display settings and the audio settings are what you want. I'm beginning to think the HDMI slots on the TV are defected in some way, I'd appreciate any thoughts. I've had a look around the net and cannot find anything that might help me out, hence coming on here in the hope someone may have experienced something similar with these TV's or know of something I'm missing with my laptop? When I plugged the VGA cable in, the TV and laptop recognised each other straight away and I didn't have to do another thing.īut I've still got this HDMI problem - I've even gone out this afternoon and brought 2 brand new HDMI cables, a cheap one and decent priced one, but alas still nothing. So I changed over the cable to the HDMI 2 slot on the TV etc and still nothing on the laptop, I fiddled with the settings again and still couldn't get the laptop to recognise there was a 2nd display, nor get any signal on the TV.Īs a last resort I unplugged the HDMI cable and tried the VGA cable I have - and this decided to work, although no sound as I didn't have those cables plugged in. Going into the display settings of my laptop didn't show a 2nd display, so I changed various settings trying to get it to recognise the tv, but nothing, still no signal showing on the TV, and nothing showing on the laptop. 
Within 5 mins of setting up the TV channels I decided to plug my HDMI cable into the laptop and then into HDMI 1 slot on the back of the TV, I changed the input of the TV to HDMI 1 and. I've just recently got myself a new laptop (specs at bottom of message) and took it around a friends house and plugged it into their HD TV via HDMI - all worked well, the laptop recognised the TV straight away, optimized the display and away we went.Ī few days go by and I decided to upgrade my own TV from an SD to an HD TV (Bush BLED24FHDL8) yeah I know cheap as chips, but it's going alright so far.
