I would like to mirror my PC monitor to TV. I have a cable with two types of ports. The PC side is DisplayPort and TV side is HDMI. After first connecting it was successfully mirrored, but after reconnecting it is not working. Can anyone help me?

The only problem is that when you switch off the TV, DisplayPort in PC gets deactivated and is then switched off. That means, tha if you wanna mirror that on the TV, after every time you switch on TV, you have to put in DisplayPort......Everytime :/ :/

This is likely because the stops reporting the port as available when the TV is off, so your computer thinks it has been completely disconnected. Probably a byproduct of using a TV as a monitor instead of an actual monitor. – Michael Frank – 2020-01-13T22:06:11.007
Have you tried shutting off your monitor first, before running it to the TV? Sometimes this solves the problem. Or shut off the computer and then run the cords. – vssher – 2020-01-13T19:08:38.073

You do have the HDMI on the TV side correct? – vssher – 2020-01-13T19:23:22.550
