Hi got a Advent roma 2001 laptop just for surfing whilst sat in the lounge.
It has a HDMI socket output, just tried to connect it to my plasma tv and nothing.

How do i enable it and am i right in thinking whatever is on the laptop screen will then be shown on my big tv's screen? as well as audio?

thanks. Just not sure how to swich the socket on.

okay got it working now. BUT the TV resolution is not filling the screen. tried changing the output resolution and not doing anything, it has picked up my tv as it says pansonic plasma.

It just is a screen within my tv. Wont seem to fill it. even when playing with secondary resolution setings

i seem to have worked it out. It seems you cannot have when using clone (same view on laptop as on tv) different resolutions. Which is a shame.

Means everytime i connect my hdmi cable from laptop to tv i have to change laptop res from 1366x768 to 1280x720 so it fills my Plasma screen.


No other way of doing this ie, same display on both but at ifferent resolutions?

JFP.....Yes i would like both screens displaying the same things.
