My TV is not detected when I connect to my laptop through Thunderbolt/HDMI cable

On your laptop while it is connected to the TV, see if the TV is being detected as a secondary display. You can do this by going to the Intel HD Graphics control panel. Open it by right clicking on the Intel HD Graphics icon in your notification drawer (you may have to expand it) and choose Graphics Properties.
In the control panel, choose Display, then Multiple Displays from the sidebar. See if your TV is detected here. If it is detected, you will see a page with options to clone displays or extend desktop.
If your TV is detected, then the single display option will most probably be selected, with your laptop display being the one. You can choose the TV in single display mode or choose to clone displays. This should work if your TV is detected.

If it is not detected at all by your laptop there may be a few causes. I will try to cover the ones that I can think of:

The cable may not be the right one for you. If you can, try it out with other device combinations (a friend's TV and/or laptop etc.) to see if it works.
Try a different cable if you have/can borrow one.

Try the other HDMI ports on your TV.

Based on some suggestions in iFixit forum, you could try this. Apparently the power off delay works. Disconnect all HDMI sources from the inputs. > Unplug the power from TV/LCD for 10 minutes. > Plug the TV/LCD back in. > Connect the cable to your laptop. > Repeat previous step for each HDMI port.

Resetting the TV may fix it if it is a setting problem. (From the same forum). There is also apparently another way to reset it by holding the Exit button for around 30 seconds. I cannot test it out as I don't have a samsung TV:

 

My TV is not detected when I connect to my laptop through Thunderbolt/HDMI cable

I have a laptop with Thunderbolt(Mini Display Port) and ofcourse TV has HDMI port. Si I bought a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable and connected the devices but TV is just not showing up when I press Detect.

Now, this laptop is not having any issues when I connect it with my external monitor, its just the TV which is not being detected.

• My laptop is a Lenovo T440s Windows 10
  
• TV is Samsung LCD 1080p
  
• Now, my laptop connects to other external monitor fine
  
• While TV also works fine with other devices like Roku very fine.
  
• its just the combination of laptop and TV is something that is not working at all.
  
• Here is the Thunderbolt that I am using: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00APLJY4C?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
  

All I see is No Signal when I turn on the TV and choose the port from laptop

Any suggestions?

 

Unable to connect laptop to TV using HDMI

Hi Rena,

What happens when you connect the HDMI cable from your laptop to the TV? Does your laptop and tv go blank, does the tv just not display anything?

After you hook the cable up, right click on the desktop, and choose “display settings” - see if you can detect the monitor, and see if Windows finds it.

Click start and type “Device Manager” - and select it from the list of results.

Expand Display Adapters, then right-click on your video driver and select Update Driver.

Select Search automatically for updated driver software.

If still no luck, try a different HDMI input on your tv.

Let’s start with these and go from there, let me know, and we’ll try to figure this out!
