how do you do it with a hdmi cable?

[tjw1963]

@PolicyGeneration I have posted a video response below this video for HDMI

i love how people make these videos and their video is just perfect every time but it dosnt ever work out that easy theres no trouble shooting advice what so ever.....

[tjw1963]

@KcKglock With that thought, the person making the video would have to have access to all types of computers and TV's. Each one is going to work different. If you are using an analog tv, the chances are great that it will not work. Each computer is going to have different display settings. You can usually go to the website for your computer brand, and they will have manuals showing how to access your display settings.
