Laptop External Monitor Problem

Thank you once again, I will explain:

• Today 10th November 2016 - After monitor eventually successfully connects to my HP laptop, in my absence when the laptop/monitor powers off, I get NO re-connection problems during the day
• Tomorrow 11th November 2016 - After laptop and monitor has been restarted following, shut-down, power offs(laptop + monitor) I will be stuck once again with exactly the same problem

In my display settings each morning, my HP laptop shows it is connected to my external monitor, however there is no display on the external monitor for a vast amount of time, just randomly suddenly appears.?

 

No sound when connected to external monitor

Hi Bill,

To fix this issue, you can try the steps below:

• Plug in both ends of the HDMI without the laptop on.
• Turn the external monitor on and set to HDMI screen.
• Boot up your laptop from a shutdown position (not restart).
• Your laptop will now recognize the external monitor and will acknowledge its presence.
• Right-click the speaker icon on the task bar and choose
  View Volume Controls.
• Set TV as default.
• Click Apply, then click Ok.

You can also refer to the article in this
link to help fix sound problems.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Laptop External Monitor Problem

Discovered the best interim solution and best way to live this problem:

• I have changed my LG TV auto power setting to OFF - therefore the monitor remains ON constantly and therefore laptop instantly presents a display to my monitor, sleep, restart etc..

The critical issues being in this bizarre problem :-

• Windows 10 HP laptop is both physically and S/W connected to LG monitor
• LG monitor can take up to 45mins to present this display on each and every day
• Connected laptop via HDMI to three other monitors(TV’s etc), same problem, one TV was less than six months old
• There appears to be raised problems generally in relation to such an external monitor problem on the WWW
• Never incurred such a problem in Windows 7

I stress these are the facts of my problem and thank you again
