Have you checked the output settings for your PC's video card? As in, did you set it for external display?

When I plug my laptop in, I have to plug in the hdmi into the tv, then turn on the laptop. Is your computer on when you plug the hdmi cord into the tv?

You may need to set your TV settings to HDMI.

If this does not work may I suggest that you put your foot through the TV screen and send the bill to the computer manufacturer?

you should try to put your tv on minimal settings on the HDMI some tvs cant take full HDMI despite what their specs say.

Get a base signal and ramp it up from there.

Check Control Panel for access to your video card's settings. You may have another link to those settings if you had to install software in conjunction with the card itself.

How i do that?

reply to post by Snarl


Gonna try that now.

Thnx all for the replies

On most TV remotes you'll have a TV/DTV button which functions Digital TV and the old Analogue, next to it should be a AV button with a box around it, click the AV four times to get to HDMI.

That works on most TV's that I've worked with.

A picture of your remote control could help us.

Plug the HDMI cable into both devices - Find the word INPUT on the remote - click on it, and then on the TV screen you will see a list of choices for the type INPUT you are looking for such as TV, AUDIO, HDMI etc. The HDMI that has a checkmark on it - scroll down to it and click it (center OK button) ..........and you are good to go.

NOW - on my old remote the INPUT button is easy to find - top left.

On the newer ones you have to go thru hoops a little - like SETUP or Menu etc.

I have tried that as well as the other options. It keeps saying no signal

Try it again..........the way I told you is the CORRECT WAY - New TV's have at least 5 HDMI inpput choices. If the correct HDMI channel is not highlighted or checkmarked you will have to go down the list of them (5?) and try each one.

ALSO You might have to tell the PC to output through the HDMI port.

The users manual should tell you how.

Make sure you are plugging it into the back of your GPU and not anywhere else.

I had to buy an adapter to get my computer to function with the television.

Did you get it yet? On my TV is a RGB function and that is the only way I get signal. No button for it though, I have to go through the menu.

MellowMarvin is right. I have multiple inputs on my TV that I also use as a moniter. For some functions all I have to do is push a button on the remote, but for other functions, such as XBox, I have to go through the menu. What a pain in the tuckus! But after a while you get used to it.

Is it an LG?

Have an old one that is strangely particular about what it will receive by way of hdmi. Sucker was struck by lightning but was picky before that. Best of luck.

It would help if there was more information and perhaps a few images.........we just need to know things other than name rank and serial #..........such as the age of the PC - model - is it up to snuff etc.
