When I connect my laptop to my TV via a HDMI cable, it's too dark.
I recently got a new LG HDTV and when I connect my laptop, it looks way too dark on my TV, but it looks good on my laptop screen. I know it's a problem with my laptop because when I watch movies on my Playstation 3, they look very good. I compared the same movies to my PS3 and my laptop, and they look really dark when I look through my laptop.
Is there a way to change the color/contrast/etc, that appears on my TV, but not my phone? Also, I already tried to change the setting of the color on my TV, but it does not solve the problem. It wasn't a problem with my old TV, the color was very good about it. Thank you in advance for your help!
Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you very much for your help. The problem was solved!

Hi all
I currently use a HDMI cable to the video stream from my MacBook to my TV. It works fine except that it doesn't seem to be a way to close the laptop and always maintain the connection with the TV. First of all, I do not leave my laptop open, exposed if you want, when you're arms reach. Then, when it is connected to the TV, it is at least 2 to 3 yards away. In addition, I have recently adopted a cat. His favorite thing to do is to tap dance across the keyboard. Therefore, I am more able to let the laptop taken in isolation within the connective range of HDMI cable because the cat will walk on it. In any case, I tried to find a way to close the lid of the laptop, the laptop to stay awake and keep the connection to the TV. Any ideas?
Thank you
Sally

VIsta - Local access only
HI -.
I recently moved. I use the same router from my old apartment and I had no problem connection in the past. Since I moved I have a new Time Warner modem (Cisco) and the modem works fine.The router also works very well I'm able to connect with my iPhone and IPad without any problem.
But when I try to connect with my wireless laptop, it will only connect to Local access. If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.
It's a Dell Studio 15 with Vista.
The computer is able to connect to wifi to other places without any problem, but for some reason that I can't connect home. I tried to reset the modem and the router several times, but that did not help. I tried the option repair & diagnose several times but it doesn't work.
I tried to look for other solutions online and tried to disable IPv6, and while it helped some and I was able to connect wireless, the computer ran so slowly that it didn't seem like a good solution.
This has been very frustrating. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.
StaciHello Staciusa,
Have you tried to change the wireless channel that your router is running at? There may be interference that could prevent the internet connection:
Take a look at step 6 in this article that give more details about it:
http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/Setup/wirelesstips.aspx
If you need assistance to change the settings of the specific router, you will need to contact your router manufacturer or your internet service provider.

Connectingt laptop to a TV with an HDMI cable
Can I connect my laptop to Sony Bravia KDL-55BX520 digital television using an HDMI cable? I'm teaching a class and need to show pictures of my computer for students.
Thank you-

Hi Peter.
Yes, if your laptop has a HDMI output jack.
(If your laptop has a DVI output, you will need to connect to HDMI 1, but he needs an additional audio connection).
