Anyone willing to help,

I have a Samsung Series 4+ tv, Model PN51D450A2D, and I am trying to view the screen of my laptop on it. I have a cord that has a monitor connection on one side and the three red blue green ends on the other side. I have connected the cord to the computer and tv. The computer says it is all there and working fine, so I know that the information is being sent into the cord. The tv is on the correct input, but nothing will show up. Is my cord broken, or is the tv somehow unable to read the information being sent to it, or what? Please help.

Regards,
Ñät

We figured out how to get a computer to work with a Vizio TV but still have not transferred sound yet, the sound still comes from the PC. Right click on notebook screen. Go to settings, click advanced, then graphics accelerator, then click on graphics properties, then you’ll be at a page to change schemes, then select monitor instead of notebook, then click new, name your scheme, then hit invoke. Your notebook or laptop will become black and your TV will have a full screen view of PC. We have been trying for days then we prayed, we give the credit to Yih’weh. AMAZING!!! As my husband uses it for Bible Study with e-Sword. e-Sword is a free Bible Study program online.

not getting any sound from your tv when using the head phones socket?

go to control panel – audio devices – volume control – headphones. mute should not be ticked.

if headphones is not listed go to options – properties – select headphones

After reading the tips, I peeked at the ports available on both the Visio hdtv and the Inspiron 1525 laptop. I found HDMI ports on both, so I simply disconnected one end of the HDM1 cable from the cable box, left it plugged in to the TV, and plugged it into the laptop. I turned everything on, and as soon as the computer booted up, there was my desktop weather on display on a big ole’ flat screen tv! Now, do I have sound? I googled YouTube, selected my favorite song, Funeral For a Friend by Elton John, and was immediately listening to it!! Awesome! Now I can watch Syracuse U. play basketball this Friday night on ESPN3. Life is good. Thanx for the help!!

Hi I found this indeed useful. I have a vidieocon LCD and tried to connect it to my PC which uses Asus mother board with both vga and HD outputs. I tried to connect the VGA port to my TV and TV says no signal. All I needed to was to change my resolution setting in my PC to 1024X768 which I realized from this post. Every thing worked nice Great help . thanks

I’m having a problem with all of this. I have my s-video cord and the audio hooked up to my toshiba latop and my sanyo tv however I keep getting the no signal just flashing at me. I tried a few things on here and I keep trying to go into my display settings to ‘extend monitor’ to my tv but the settings will not save, like it’s not recognizing it. I tested the s-video cable in my dvd player so I know it’s no the cable. I do have it on the correct input cause I can hear the sound coming through when I play videos. But no image. Any help here greatly appreciated.

I have a HP laptop. Windows XP Home edition. I can get the desktop from my pc to show on my flat screen tv and my cursor.
I can even drag a shortcut to the tv screen, but when i click to open, it still opens on the laptop..i can’t get the desktop shortcut icons or anything else to show..I have the cord for sound right and i have the cord plugged in to the port on the pc and the tv..it does fine with another laptop just not this one..
