Windows 10: Is there a way to send video to tv (as 2nd display )using HDMI cable

I'm hoping there's a way to send a video from a Chrome tab to the tv using an HDMI cable while I'm doing other stuff on the computer monitor. Is this even possible? At the moment, everything on the computer is mirrored on the tv.

hdmi cable to tv,, no display now.. HELP?

The HDMI port on the Acer Aspire Z1-621G is an INPUT port NOT an output port. In other word's you can not use it to hook up a TV to use as a second monitor but you CAN use it to hook up a DVD or Blu-Ray player and use the screen as a display for them. You
could also hook up a Dish or Direct TV or Cable box which has a HDMI port to display the output on the screen as if it was a TV. In fact, I am writing this while using my Acer V3 laptop which I have hooked to my Z1, using the display on the Z1 has my working
display. When you are connected this way, you can either display the Z1 screen or the input from the HDMI port, but not both at once, though you can switch back and forth between them.

 

PC and TV not connecting via HDMI cable


If the PC has detected your HDMI-TV connection then it will be shown as an additional display in Settings, System, Display.




If there is no additional display shown then your PC has not detected your HDMI-TV connection
- Unless there is something wrong with the connection itself, I'd first try going to your PC maker then downloading and [re-]installing the latest display driver.
- I suggest you also check your PC manual & any user forum your PC maker provides to see if there is any useful guidance there.
- You might also get somebody else to connect their PC to your TV using the same TV settings & HDMI cable to prove that nothing there is at fault.
