HP Envy 17-inch: external monitor

Hello
I just got a HP Envy, 17 inches, and I have a HP 25 inch monitor I want to connect to it. It was the "old style" connector that was leaning on my old HP Entertainment Notebook. Not on the new! Should which adapter I do? I have a HDMI port on the left side of my laptop.  Should I just a regular HDMI cable? Please try to keep the rock and pretty simple answer lol for instance or even a link to what I need. Thank you in advance!

Hello

Old connector that probably, you talk about VGA port. Because HDMI uses digital and analog VGA usage, you need a HDMI to VGA Converter that is similar to one of the following:

You can use the old cable to connect the converter on your monitor.

Kind regards.

  • MacBook Pro retina 15 inch heats up when it is connected to the external monitor

    Hello

    My problem: When I connect my monitor (LG IPS277L) temperature of my Macbook Pro starts to heat upward. This problem often occurs when I use Facetime.

    I found it really strange because I should have a pretty good Macbook Pro for this.

    MacBook Pro (15 inch, retina, medio 2015)

    Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7

    Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Iris Pro 1536 MB Intel / AMD Radeon R9 M370X

    El Captain 10.11.6 OSX

    I hope that someone recognizes this problem and wants to share their solution.

    When you connect to an external monitor, you use the AMD Chip for graphics (without the external screen, most of the software needs only the graphics engine Intel).  It attracts more power and therefore heats up.  All MacBook Pro for this to some extent.  This should be considered normal.  If the computer is actually overheating, it will stop.

  • 17 3200 envy: Envy 17 3200 screen flickers and dies. External monitor works. (Video included)

    Hi, I bought my laptop about two years ago. A few days ago the screen suddenly dies, and at startup, it flashes several times with the correct display, but then turns off. The backlight seems to stay on. When I use an external monitor with HDMI port, the external monitor works fine, however, the laptop screen remains empty. Here's a video of what it looks like when I first boot the laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmro4P1NmyY & feature = youtu.be , how can I do to fix this problem? Thanks, Wes

    @Saichotic ,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forum.  It is somewhat a problem when it comes to laptops that comes up from time to time.

    The reason is there is a cable connected to the motherboard that goes back through the hinge area and connects to an inverter that powers the monitor.

    Once the cable wears out, but more often just to move General around get you a loos to the inverter or the motherboard connection.

    Here is a link to your Maintenance and service guide. You can use this to help pull the cable and inspect the connections.

    Here is a video that will show you how essentially happen to things as well to test and check the cable.

  • HP Envy X 2 (15-C001dx): HP Envy X 2 (15-C001dx): question seeks to use the external monitor

    I have a brand new HP Envy X 2 (15-C001dx) with Windows 8.1. So far, it works fine by itself. I tried to connect an external monitor to the laptop using an HDMI cable from the laptop to a LG L246WPQ screen. The problem is that 10-15% of the left side of the content portable screen does not appear on the external monitor. Missing from the external display is the word "Start" in the upper left with roughly 2 columns to tiles. This occurs in the two "dual display" or "show only the screen 2" modes.  It's using a resolution of 1680 x 1050 times the cell phone and the LG appearing in support. Using the touch screen on the laptop I can scroll tiles to the right and see the missing columns at the far left. The information displayed on the external monitor begins as far left this screen will be displayed. In other words, there is no black and white on the left box. Except for the missing information on the left side, from the rest of the external display content seems fine. I have updated video driver of the laptop at the latest on HP.COM.  No change in behavior. I tried all the options I could find on the LG OnScreenDisplay, but nothing does the display not better. I've seen complaints on some forums that some "DPI" support added in Windows 8.1is causing many grief monitor for some people. Who would have something to do with it?

    This sounds like a video driver problem?  Something incorrect or incompatible with this LG monitor? Suggestions on other things to try?

    Thank you

    @outback ,

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums,

    The first thing I would try this question takes the hdmi cable and plug it on another monitor or a TV.

    If the same problem exists then LG issue.  If the same problem occurs on other screens or TV then looking at a resolution problem on the output of the system.

    Even if you can be able to higher resolutions sometimes native resolution will eventually force you to lower it.

    I have two screens at home who can manage resolution 1680 x 1050, however the native resolution is less than that.  and according to what I connect to the screen will depend on what I can get away with.

    Here are some links that you can see and which can be useful.

    Troubleshooting screen HDMI and sound problems

    I checked on the model of monitor you are using, and it seems to have this problem on many different systems.

    LG L246WPQ

    L246WP 24 '' LG display moved to the left driver Nvidia 8.15.11 - EVGA GTX 260

    Here is a list of the problems of google I found.

    The screen shifted to the left.

    I would like to know how this happens.

  • HP Envy m7-n011dx: HP Envy m7-n011dx - change to external monitor Sleep Mode close lid so that the aid & external keyboard

    I added an external keyboard and an external monitor to my HP Envy laptop m7-n011dx.  Both are recognized by the laptop, if I leave the lid open.  When I close the lid, the computer goes into mode 'sleep', and I can't use the laptop with the keyboard and the monitor.

    How do I charge the laptop does not go in mode 'sleep' when I close the lid, so I can use the keyboard and the monitor?

    Thank you very much!

    Hi @MPBEqual,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I read your post and wanted to help.

    I understand that you want to use the external keyboard and the monitor while the laptop lid is closed.

    You must go to the Power Options. Set it to do nothing when the lid is closed.

    You can view this document in order to manage power options:

  • HP ENVY x 360-15-u011dx Touch: help the implementation of multiple external monitors

    recently bought a HP ENVY laptop touch 360-15-u011dx x. Try to put in place two external monitors with a HDMI splitter. I can "extend" office, but both screens display the same image, which is not what I want. Can I set up two external monitors with this laptop using a separator (that was what I was told would work when I bought the unit and both monitors.)  Computers portable precedents had ports HDMI and VGA that allows two monitors.  This laptop (and most recent) no longer have a VGA port.

    Hello

    If you want 2 external monitors to have different point of view, you need two different outputs. Two monitors of a same source cannot have 2 times. My cheap suggestion: buy a cheap USB - DVI Cela will fix the problem. I did a test using a cheap DisplayLink and get:

    Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forums.  The answer to your question is no.  Not that your system is configured.  There is a special material using a type USB adapter that will allow you to do, but it's expensive.

    It is not something that HP supports but here is a link to a page that will give you some information.

  • External monitor display Windows logo with 3-4 inch black border

    Original title: external monitor shows background Windows, but not

    My daughter was working in PowerPoint and that there was full-screen mode. When she clicked out of it somehow, the monitor now displays only the Black logo of windows (with a border of 3-4 inches) around it, but not actually the computer screen. A friend told me that a few keystrokes probably did. some keys of function or something. Do you know what function keys, they may have been? It connected the vga, if that makes a difference

    Wow. Thank you for your long and well thought answer. I was out last night until 11:30 working on it and it finally got. I went through a few suggestions you made. After more research, the solution was simple (well that until last night, didn't even know these options exist).

    When I right-click on the desktop screen and select 'Screen Resolution' the only option had been changed to "expand." Once I changed it to "reproduce" instantly displayed on the monitor screen.

    Thank you very much for your help!

  • Half the Office disappears when you unplug the external monitor

    I have a MacBook (early 2011) with a single office shared between two monitors - with one hand on the internal screen and the other half on a Dell 23 inch. The Dell is my first when I use both at the same time. Until a few months ago, when I unplugged the external monitor, all windows automatically appears in the monitor to the laptop, including the menu bar and dock.

    After an operating system upgraded a few dos systems (I'm on version of El Capitan.6), when I unplug the screen seems not to register - in other words, the left side of my office, including the menu bar and the dock, and all the apps that were there just to disappear. So my laptop seems to think that the other view is always connected and direct, unless I restart with the detached monitor. (I unchecked 'Displays have separated spaces') in Mission Control.

    Is that what I can do to force the Office to redesign the internal screen? (Note that the display is a Dell S2330MX, which seem not to support any Mac OS - so who could answer the question here.) Thank you

    I've known who issues from time to time, try to close and reopen the lid, which needs to redraw your office.
