[xuxstreets]

LOL OMG YOU FIXED THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FOR ME THAT AUDIO... lol you had no idea when I first tried yesterday and than i was like i know there is got to be a way to play it through my T.V than I asked google.. and they gave this video as the answer... AND I AM REALLY HAPPY WITH THIS ANSWER because you also showed me other kool stuff i can do :)

[adriarichards]

@xuxstreets Hey, glad it worked out for you to ask Google and watch my video for help! What were you watching? A movie? A YouTube video? Share!

[xuxstreets]

@adriarichards so basically I learned not only how to change the audio also change the screen.. Like right now I am replying with my laptop to connect to the t.v and hearing the sound from t.v full screen on it :)... also one more thing run time 4:21 when you got the audio working on the t.v .. LOL THAT WAS THE PRICELESS VICTORY SMILE :) AND I HAD LIKE THE SAME SMILE ALMOST

[WeAreTeamGriz]

Outstanding video, very helpfull!!!

[123codfan]

its didnt work

[GhostOfChannelingu]

Wonder if she's single, she never mentioned that critical fact in the video

[spvrose]

Hi ive got a problem with the sound is there anything i can do to make the sound come out of my tv as well

[gentletuesday]

Hi, nice video :)

Does it delivers high resolution text from common website pages? I mean, in a way that allows you to read it on the TV from far, without effort?

Thanks :)

[fabalaosone]

thanx for the help gorgeous. I think that u would b perfect for me ;] lol jk but thanku 4 the help

[chorman89]

:D THANK YOU It worked well for ME for the sound Audio PART :D thank you

but i think u might want to explain a bit more on the TV. from right click to projector and to advance setting

[eatingfatty]

Unfortunately, it's not working for me. I connected my laptop to my TV, but my laptop is not detecting the TV whatsoever. :/

[sanketkane]

which one is better connecting laptop through vga port or through hdmi port...how can u enable audio through the tv while using vga port plz help

[Romono01]

I just bought an HDMI cable, nothing came up on my TV monitor. What am I doing wrong?

[adriarichards]

@Romono01 Make sure everything is connected and that your laptop is sending a signal via the HDMI cable. Also make sure your TV is on the "channel" to detect input from the HDMI. Our tv has more than one HDMI input so the Playstation and Google TV are both connected

[raazstone]

one quick question, if my laptop has HDMI port and my laptop is running with max screen res. 1600 x 900, so can I use 1080p 32 inch TV?

[adriarichards]

@raazstone great question. Is your concern a distorted display? I'm not sure on the conversion for that so you should try it and let us know how it goes! In most cases, the limitations are due to the video card capabilities on the computer (laptop) vs the display.

[gtowntx2020]

Forget the video this lady is beautiful,wow

[Viru5Sniping]

my picture gets cut off any suggestions?

[revolucionisti]

i have a sony bravia tv (lcd) but i can't play the videos when i'm puting the flash usb in to tv? why?

[socadas]

When I bought my HDMI cabo, I put it on my lcd, and worked perfectly. Now it doesn't work anymore and on my lcd says "search for signals", and nothing apear on the lcd, just that. What should I do :x I've tryed different things :x

[Abity]

your smiling is killer...hmmm

[DarkLuigi4321]

I have a Toshiba satellite with hdmi out and a hd tv but I don't have a hdmi cable RAGE !!!!!!

[adriarichards]

@DarkLuigi4321 :( sorry to hear that. Get a Dell!  ^_^

[DarkLuigi4321]

@adriarichards actually my dad did but it started screaming and he returned it for a Toshiba satellite

[JPWOMACK]

She's cute.

[sonalg1988]

I have one question. When I connect my laptop to my LCD, everything that's displayed on my LCD becomes stretched. The graphics on my laptop, however, remain the same, with the exception of a thick black outline around my graphics.

Does this happen with others too?

[69THEFINISHER]

damn she is so cute and tech smart

[BloodStainedTear666]

kinda deleted the tv sound setting fromt he hlaptop, any idea how to retrieve it?

[acerza89]

watching oxford uni reunion video, some how i came here?

[MissT1952]

My notebook is Samsung and my TV LCD is Sony Bravia...I connected the cable HDMI and it says No Signal...do I need to configure something in the notebook?

[djohnstl]

Adria, I'm having problems with connecting my audio. The pic is great, but the audio only comes out of the laptop only. Can you help me?

[SSBMsounds]

@djohnstl They might be two, if you have earphone plugged in. Now set the other device as defaul by right-clicking and click "set as default". Hope this helped :)

[A7XSynysterJenno]

thankyou

[mastazeuj]

everything is fine with me, but when i turned off my tv and if i turn on again its black and says no signal?

[adriarichards]

@mastazeuj Then you may want to toggle your video on your laptop.

[mastazeuj]

@adriarichards ok tnz

[SeanClay]

I have looked around online and even my owners manual and could not find any information to help me. Until I found your how version of this connection. You have help me figured this out. Plus you are very easy on the eyes :0 Thanks!

[trex65ghia]

you'er a cutie patooty...

[bradyboysqpr123]

my samsung has a hdmi but a cap on it i and i cant get it of

[windowfool]

Hey guys, just wondering but will Laptop to TV via HDMI work with Intel HD graphics..

Thanks in advance!

[adriarichards]

@windowfool Hey there. Your graphics card shouldn't matter. It's the capability of your laptop. Check your specs ^_^

[Naoufalitos24]

Power Point is not that exciting

[adriarichards]

@Naoufalitos24 agree that Powerpoint is boring but it's probably a pretty common application used by companies when projecting from a laptop to a large screen. I rock Keynote on my macbook when I present!

[xXAcrayXx]

My HDMI cable wont fit into my laptop im useing windows 7 64bit ??

[adriarichards]

@xXAcrayXx Mmm, that doesn't sound good. Check your laptop specs to identify if your laptop supports HDMI. If not, there won't be a matching port.

[gurdeepsingh6789]

kitchen now

[iEMAN2010]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I GOT THE VIDEO BEFORE BUT I COULDENT FIND OUT THE SOUND

[squintview]

That was great ! Helped me connect my win laptop to my samsung LED. Thank you!

[adriarichards]

@squintview w00t! Awesome! Glad to hear it!

[whoisdantheman]

Your a pretty Lady.

[XxMikeRackxX]

why are you not cooking or something? wheres the kitchen?

[EllisAidan]

Hello,

I cant connect my laptop computer to my tv with a hdmi cable, ive connected it to another tv but not this one, its a hd ready grundig tv and my laptop is a compaq, the laptop recognises that the tvs attached but the tv doesent it says no signal, i dont have any hdmi channels/extensions on the tv just EXT 1,2,3,4,4s and 5 - which is the one i use for my ps3 and works fine with the hdmi cable, what do i need to do to make this work? thanks

[Pyroteammania]

@EllisAidan

hello ,

i have the same problem !!!

iits really anoying laptop is hd en tv hd ready and when i connect it says no signal but when i go to resolutions and select 1 its a really bad one.

[adriarichards]

@Pyroteammania Mmm, Bad resolution on the tv display? Maybe try a different HDMI cable or port.

[adriarichards]

@EllisAidan Have you tried using the HDMI port the PS3 has used? Also try having the TV off before you plug in the laptop then turn it on. You can also try live swapping the PS3 for the Compaq laptop and see if it picks up the input. Otherwise, start with your TV manual first to troubleshoot.

[LukeDaysDad]

Cool...so I just need to get a HDMI lead and I can watch streamed live sport on my TV right?

[skywalkerssp]

Hi Adria, I need help.. how do you connect a camcorder to your laptop so that I can see what I see on the laptop instead of the camcorder screen. I've HDMI cable, and I connected it to my laptop but it didn't appear on the screen,.. Hope you can assist me with instructions.. Thank you..

[fpssweeden]

That's a very odd kitchen

[emachete1]

you suck I just wanna know how can i connet VGA to HDMI that it............... you speak a lot shit

[MrQarsim]

@emachete1

Are you mentally backwards?

[adriarichards]

@MrQarsim Isn't it interesting how some people will insult ou and then ask a question? lolz! Poor Emachete1...

[MrQarsim]

@adriarichards

[HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9]

I LOVE YOUR STYLE ITS beautifully cute

[adriarichards]

@HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9 oh thanks!

[BANWFM]

@adriarichards

hey ur probably not going to read this comment because u probably get like 1000's of comments each day but i just bought HDMI cables today from walmart and i can't seem to find that little "D" plugin thingy in my laptop By the way i have a 2010 MacBook Pro and i can't find the "D" outlet thing on my laptop :( , hopefully u will be able to read this comment and reply to it :) .

[adriarichards]

@BANWFM I do read my comments ;) The Macbook needs an HDMI adapter. You can get that on Amazon or at the Apple store. We have one downstairs so when we watch YouTube videos on the Mabooks, we can push them the 52" flat screen.

[HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9]

PEOPLE ITS TIME TO GET VERY HIGH TECH ITS GOING TO BE 2012 SOON

[soccercutichick]

Hi, I was using a VGA cable (worked great) and audio cable and realized I had an HDMI cable that came with my TV. When I plug in the HDMI, the sound works fine, but there is an overflow of my start menu button and pretty much the whole screen, so that I can't see it (when using projector only). When I try to duplicate screens, it thinks I have 1/2 in my laptop and 3rd as my TV. Any ideas on how to get rid of the duplicate in the laptop??

[waagwan41]

When I plug my laptop to my flat screen it works... but there is about 1 or 2 inches of unused screen on the plasma TV... Do you know how to make it fill the whole screen?

[feliporivera]

my tv is black..... i did the same thing... what am i doing wrong ? :))

[JoeyRawrz]

i have an alienware m11x and a LG tv each with a hdmi input but when i plug it in at both ends nothing happens, am i doing something wrong?

[FivePinNeutralize]

I don't know how I got to this video but... How the Fuck do you not know what HDMI looks like when you want to connect a laptop to a monitor or TV with HDMI.

found at 1:22

[adriarichards]

@FivePinNeutralize oh be nice. People use tools everyday without knowing how they work - electricity, cars, telephones...

[ProgDrummerQ]

@FivePinNeutralize Some people who aren't familiar with newer technology don't know. There are people who still use TV's from the 1990's and 1980's because they still work and those people do stuff besides sit on their ass watching a screen. Just because you know something doesn't mean other people do. Don't be ignorant.

[adriarichards]

@ProgDrummerQ exactly. Most people don't even know how to change their own oil and I will readily admit that for years, I didn't know the difference between motor oil, coolant and brake fluid but now I not only understand but know how to check them! I also used to be terrified of jumping my own car for fear I'd die of being electrocuted. I make videos to empower people to feel confident about new technologies that they're interested in in trying. Thanks for speaking up Prog!

[FivePinNeutralize]

@ProgDrummerQ If you have bought a HDMI cord which would be needed to do this or a TV that has HDMI which is needed to do this or even a Laptop that Has HDMI. You should know what HDMI looks like. Or lets say you have none of this in that case why would you watch this video. When seeing that I thought this video kind of gives out the feeling of retard How to.

[MsHannelore]

I have a vga laptop and hdmi tv. Cant I just get a vga cable with hdmi at one end of cable. Will this work?

[adriarichards]

@MsHannelore you will need another cable to transfer the audio to the tv or external speakers

[FivePinNeutralize]

@MsHannelore VGA is analog signal and HDMI is digital. You can think of it as analog is Japanise and digital is english. The Image is produced with a person listening to them. In short it wont work with out a translator(video signal converter).

[spontaneousone01]

help plss

the video works but the audio doesn't work please comment

[dooski01]

thanks it worked

[bethanycameron08]

SO AWESOME THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH :D

[kar47ma]

hey i have an issue here.....i have a cable(which was expensive) which form one side has a vga port and on the other has a hdmi still i can't connect my hd tv to the laptop.plz help asap

[cybertourniquet]

do you work for Google?

[adriarichards]

@cybertourniquet I do not work for Google. I'm an independent technology consultant.

[pghag10]

your pretty and smart. I like you do you want to adopt me! ;)

[dotmatrix01]

Wow your gorgeous!! :)

[Pyroteammania]

aah yes that would be nice ! thnx

my tv is : samsung LCD TV LE22S8

maybe if its helpfull?

[Pyroteammania]

hello I have a problem. I have an HD TV with HDMI connection and a laptop with HDMI connection. if I plug both my TV to HDMI and then set that says "not supported". I've tried all resolutions but will not work. i just not want to play with HDMI but yes there is this problem! can someone please help me I would so love it thanks anyway and sorry for my bad english. I am Dutch. many greatz

[adriarichards]

@Pyroteammania I would connect everything while all items are powered off. Then turn on the laptop, then turn on the TV. On the TV then, toggle through the inputs. Do you have another device that also supports HDMI like a camcorder? That way you could test the TV

[Pyroteammania]

@adriarichards hello , i already did that step :( but my ps3 is connected with hdmi so my tv supports hdmi i think ?

thanks for the reply.

i hope you now something to do.

[adriarichards]

@Pyroteammania Maybe try disconnecting the ps3? I don't know what TV you have but grab the manual and see what it says about the inputs. I' have a another video of the TV downstairs I'll post

[mcromeom5]

Are you sure your TV is the P2370HD? The stand looks different on the amazon link you provided. Unless you modified the stand with this model :)

[adriarichards]

@mcromeom5 I'm extremely sure and you're correct, I'm not using the standard base but instead have all three monitors on swivel mounts.

[bobbobmarley27]

thank you so much..mwahhhhhh..btw i like you

[adriarichards]

@bobbobmarley27 you're welcome and uhm, thanks *blush*

[bobbobmarley27]

@adriarichards wew...hope u are single...i really like the way you smile..it brighten my day...>blushing my nose<

[shanha05]

This was so... helpful. I kept trying and trying. This video is so...helpful. I even bought a audio cord because of another video but you made it easy. Now I will take this cord back to walmart THANKS!

[adriarichards]

@shanha05 yay! Glad to hear it!

[MrMinecraft55]

Well How About " Dvi --> HDMI "



[adriarichards]

@MrMinecraft55 You can't do DVI to HDMI because you'd still need a sound cable....

[MrMinecraft55]

@adriarichards yeah that's what i meant i need a separate cable for sound if i have DVI -> HDMI ?

[xXTobbe1337Xx]

@adriarichards

And alsow do u think it can be cuz my tv mabey only support 720p when i conect it to my pc ?

but its still 1080p so it should not be 720p !

[adriarichards]

@xXTobbe1337Xx you need to try different resolutions. The video you're playing isn't a factor

[xXTobbe1337Xx]

@adriarichards Hi i need help. I got a HDMI cabl that supports 1080p and a 50 inch plasma tv with 1080p and when i conect my cable from my computer to my tv i put the resolution to 1080p on the settings and when i put the settings so i can se the screen on my pc and tv monitor it gets donw to 720p :O and i dont know why i cant change is back to 1080p

1: Can i be cuz my PC monitor is 1280 by 1024 ? do i need 1080p there 2

2: Do i need to only play on my TV and not on both ?

Pls help!

[adriarichards]

@xXTobbe1337Xx you need to toggle your video settings on the computer. The other thing is that not all video cards are the same so you should check the resolution options.

[Midas617]

Boom !

[KeepBritainClean]

Thanks for posting.

[wewex7]

Awesome! i love you!!!! Thanks

[adriarichards]

@wewex7 you're welcome :)

[310susieq]

FROM ALL THE VIDEOS I WATCHED YOURS WAS THE MOST RESOURCEFUL THANKS!

[adriarichards]

@310susieq AWESOME!

[eiya118]

i can't make the sound come out of my tv. i made the audi default for the ATI for the hmdi connection and still no audio from the tv. am i doing it wrong? help please/

[RanmaJH]

yeah i am able to controll my volume it just doesn't let me hear volume, it used to allow when my computer was Vista, but haven't trouble with 7

[BigJyeTV]

I couldn't concentrate because she's so pretty....wow

[MrUltimateEditor]

is that another tv next to the one your using? lol

[Rosti66531]

nice presentation :)

[MartiniusMusic]

I don't have the opportunity to play the sound through the HDMI/Monitor.

[Antoonio21]

wow you so sexy

[mekaneco]

im using a regular computer, how do i adjust the sizes

[iProSHiiFTY]

what happens if you shut the laptop screen down?

[adriarichards]

@iProSHiiFTY You could toggle off the laptop video if your video card/laptop configuration supports it.

[XxNightmareLOVE]

When I connect my laptop to my TV using an HDMI, nothing happens at all. My TV detects the new hardware, but I don't actually get any display or audio off it at all.

[adriarichards]

@XxNightmareLOVE you may want to check the input on the tv

[XxNightmareLOVE]

@adriarichards It's the right input; my TV detects the new connection and automatically switches to the input.

[adriarichards]

@XxNightmareLOVE once connected, you want to check the order that you turn things on as well as on the laptop to make sure you're "sending" the signal to the TV. Make a video and show us your setup so I can see what you're working with.

[XxNightmareLOVE]

@adriarichards I don't really know how to make a video, I tried go to Display Settings and select the new external source, but nothing happened on my TV screen. The "Connect to a projector" option doesn't do anything to my TV either, and if I select the "projector only" option, my laptop screen goes black without any response from my TV.

[XxNightmareLOVE]

@adriarichards Never mind, I got it to work. Thanks for the help (:

[7spiffy]

does the quality change if I use my laptop with a flat screen tv vs a pc flat led monitor?

[RanmaJH]

my vol still isn't working..... it did on vista but now i can't get it on 7 to play... help?

[adriarichards]

@RanmaJH Mmm, are you not able to control the volume from the HD tv or monitor?

[guadaguy]

brilliant.....absolutely brilliant. TY

[adriarichards]

@megaaload congrats, you're my first troll on YouTube

[adriarichards]

@megaaload lolz! It is sooo funny that you feel you know the size of my 3 Samsung monitors better than I do when I purchased all three. The television downstairs is probably 42" or 50" and is very, very wide.

[Rokye1Atem]

hang on, i my new computer doesnt have a function button, what do i do?

[adriarichards]

@Rokye1Atem Is your computer a desktop model? You will have the option to toggle displays in the Display settings in the control panel

[Rokye1Atem]

@adriarichards yes, it is a desktop. and im having it run through my HDMI cable just now, but i would like to run it through my VGA cable, because i need the HDMI for other things.

[adriarichards]

@Rokye1Atem Running Windows 7? Vista? XP? Go to your control panel once you've connected the monitor to the vga and choose, "detect displays"

[Rokye1Atem]

@adriarichards it doesnt say 'detect displays'

[Rokye1Atem]

@adriarichards im using vista

[Randomvids18]

Is there a way you can have your Tv screen on your laptop?

[adriarichards]

@Randomvids18 probably not...

[parbat8126]

[cowsaysmoo122]

[adriarichards]

@cowsaysmoo122 you're welcome!

[herrgamerful]

is on your tv a HD Quality,after you put your HDMI Cable to your laptop and your tv?

[kigomin1972]

Hello, do I need to connect directly the cable to the screen?

[imranbmw]

i think she has lyses in her hair lol

[doorOfSouls]

i have a laptop with vga and HDMI and i have a monitor with HDMI and a monitor with VGA and i connected the two to my laptop and only the HDMI monitor is displayed , do you know how to make both monitors be on?

[adriarichards]

@doorOfSouls I would say that most laptops don't support dual output so you would have to get a special converter to split the signal.  Check over at NewEgg

[sidrahkw]

i hve dell laptop when i connect my laptop to lcd tv using hdmi wire.but their is no display on tv please tell me the settings.as soon as possible...

[adriarichards]

@sidrahkw you'll have to check your manual

[bigbert1984]

[iancpulpo]

[gtagome]

WOOWOWOWOWOOOW YOURRRR AMAZING!!!!! I LOVE YOU HAHA THANKS :DDD

[omgfoolshit]

so okay all i have is connect the HDMI cable on my laptop then on my screen then change the resolution so it fits on the screen then i'm ready to use my pc thru that screen?

[FrutchyFr]

Hello Adria,

Great demo!

Assuming your V130 has the standard Intel Media Accelerator HD graphics controller, I have 2 questions :

- Do you spot any heating issues in the laptop when it also has to drive the external screen?

- Did you manage to put your external screen resolution up to HD (1920x1080) or is the laptop limiting you to display its native 1366x768 on the external screen as well?

I would really appreciate your feedback on this.

Thanks a lot in advance !

Bye-bye from France

[princeknight1986]

Hey thanks this helps alot. Another thing thats cool is how beautiful she is.
