Cannot connect laptop to monitor using HDMI

0

I'm trying to connect my Dell Latitude laptop to my monitor using an HDMI connection from both ends. I plugged in the cable, but my monitor is showing no signal.

I tried to send output to the projector (it can be done with the Fn+F8 shortcut) and it does nothing except resize my screen to square size.

Any idea what is missing? Thank you very much.

And you have switched the input on the TV to the appropriate HDMI port? – JSanchez – 2014-02-07T19:32:14.343

1try a different hdmi cable, and make sure the resolution of the projector can handle that specific output you have for the hdmi port. – Sickest – 2014-02-07T19:45:26.420

Check your drivers. You often need to have the real card drivers(not generic ones) to use HDMI. I'm assuming you are on Windows 7 or 8, you may want to tag your OS and put what type of model system you have. – Jeff F. – 2014-02-07T20:03:22.127
