Satellite L650 - HDMI connection for external monitor

I've linked the laptop to my Sony LCD TV via HDMI, no problem. I have a (Acer, 24-inch) LCD monitor that has a HDMI port also. I used it to play ps3 and xbox360 via HDMI connection, no problem. I have two lines HDMI 1.3. The two lines are working without any problems.

However, when I connect my laptop to my LCD Acer just external LCD monitor can t work properly. I can barely see what is display on the monitor, very snowy. It's hard to describe. I took a photo but don't know where to download it here.

I tried both HDMI lines, but both failed. I tried to change a few settings in the laptop, but nothing makes any difference. I'm looking for the driver for video card on the Web from Toshiba website and found that my current license is updated.

I'm not a tech geek, but I think that I don't know something on the computer. Am I missing something here?

Guys (and girls), please throw in an idea (tooth tell me to check if the connection is good, I don't already).
Thank you

Hey,.

If you connect your laptop to external monitor and press the FN + F5 key combination what happens exactly? Pressing the FN + F5 key combination shows different options and you should test with external monitor only (not the clone image). If you work on external monitor doesn't do this work?

In addition, you must connect the devices before starting their.

Also, take a look in the BIOS and try to load the default settings. Make sure that that the HDMI cable is connected before starting Windows and check the status again.

By the way: what operating system are you using exactly?

    Ringht click an empty space on the desktop,

    Click Customize

    Click on display

    Click on change display settings

    You can see the TWO laptop screen and external monitor in there, as shown in the following image:

    For the test, I put my Dell monitor is my main screen. If I can't see 2 monitors, you need its driver first and then check the cable.

    * Hi-speed III Port Replicator is not an option, because it is not available in my country (Croatia).

    Hello

    I don t think you will be able to connect two external monitors to this laptop using HDMI and RGB port at the same time because of different types of signals.

    The RGB/VGA port supports analog signal.

    The HDMI port provides the digital video output and when the external monitor is connected to the HDMI port the device is set to HDMI.

    This model has a (d - Sub 15-pin) port for connecting an external monitor? -The data sheet on this site does not list one!

    Copy of it please respond to [email protected]

    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t found any information on the satellite M70-339, but on the M70-337.
    I think that the two units are not different and the ports are the same.

    However, as far as I know the M70-337 supports RGB (monitor) port on the left side, and you can connect the external monitor to this port.
    This device supports also a s-video port to connect the TV to the unit.

    WT8-B-102 does not therefore support other output micro HDMI port the connection to an external monitor or TV isn t possible.

    But as far as I know the Tablet supports the wireless display technology (Miracast / Intel WiDi) and if the TV supports the same technology, you should be able to output the internal display on TV s screen too.

  • Connect an external monitor to an Equium L10-300

    I wonder if someone can tell me how to connect a Viewsonic external monitor to a laptop Equium L10-300?

    I unplugged the screen and when I got to reconnect again I got a message "No signal input" on the monitor. I sent the manufacturers of screens that said I had to turn on the laptop, wait for Windows to load, and then press and hold the function key, while pressing F10. There is nothing! Before that, they said that I needed to press the feature key followed by the key with the monitor symbol F on it, it doesn't work anymore!

  • How to connect an external monitor to the hp slate 21 pro

    I have a HP Slate 21 Pro. Anyone know how I can connect an external monitor to reflect what's on my tab

    Hello

    There is no way to connect an external cable monitor such that HDMI port is entered only.

    Your only solution would be to use the wireless display option in the settings, but you would need a monitor/TV/adapter that would work as a Miracast receiver.  I'm not sure specific screens that function as receptors, but I used adapters are the PTV3000 Netgear and Actiontec SBWD100A01,.

    I hope this helps.

    I have been using my yoga 2 with an external monitor via micro-hdmi port, but a week ago, it stopped working. The monitor does not recognize laptop. In addition, I can't adjust the brightness of my laptop screen, the keyboard, or in the control panel in windows. I think that this problem started after a windows update, but I'm not entirely sure. Does anyone know a fix? Thank you!

    Welcome to Lenovo forums

    For external monitor, please try another cable and another screen if available or check if the cable and the screen work fine with other devices

    For brightness problem please try to go to under view Device Manager right click on the Intel driver cards and choose Properties

    Is there a question here?

    Read your manuals and find a way to use your laptop computer based on the instructions from Sony to connect external (including projectors) monitors for the laptop.  Usually a connection (as you said Windows XP where you have published, probably VGA) for the monitor and a few buttons to tell the laptop to mirror or extend the display to the second monitor.

  • How to connect the external monitor to Satellite T130-C17?

    It has a HDMI port on my laptop and I would use it to connect to a monitor...
    The monitor supports DVI and VGA...
    So I thought that buying a VGA-HDMI would do the trick...

    Unfortunately, when I plug it almost doesn t do something...
    I want to use the monitor as my monitor 3rd btw. That's why I want it on the HDMI port.
    The resolution isn't really a problem for me because I put t want to do something great graphics on it anyway.

    For me, it makes sense to use the HDMI Cable DVI and not to use the VGA port.

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the display on your laptop driver? Check the Toshiba site for an update:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
    And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

    For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
    And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.
