Puzzling TV/Monitor issue with different sources.
Wedding fair tomorrow, so may want to hang the biggest telly I have on the overhead. Trial run with a smaller TV threw up this conundrum. Backup laptop runs on ( I think ) Windows 7, and has VGA and HDMI. When I plugged this in to the telly via HDMI, it altered the screen on the PC, and nothing on the telly. Same with another telly.
Curiously, the Surface Tablet ( W10 ) is flawless on both TVs via HDMI. So is the main laptop, also W10. The interesting thing is, when I join the W7 lappy to a monitor by HDMI, it too is flawless. :daft:
So, don't laptops before W8/10 work on TVs with HDMI? :confused: I haven't tried it, but I have a sneaky suspicion that if I'd used VGA with the TV and W7 it would have worked. Thoughts anyone?
