I have a samsung laptop, a LG blueray player, and an LG tv. We recently just cancelled our cable and i want to watch my streamed movies that i have on my laptop on my tv. Now currently i have a VGA cable from my laptop to the tv. But i just hooked the speakers up to the blueray player ( its an all in one surrond sound, 2 tall boy speakers, a sub, a central and 2 stand alones). So if I have a DVD that is in the blueray i can have surrond sound, but when its on my laptop i cant because currently im bypassing the blueray. I tried plugging an HDMI cable from my laptop to the HDMI in port for my blueray, and it came up with a promt on the tv "now you can enjoy High Def from other devices change your input setting to an HDMI plug to watch" and i changed the input to HDMI 1-4 on my tv but no picture showed. Can you help?

See because my blue ray is plugged into HDMI 1 normally when i have an external device plugged into the blueray it shows in HDMI2, but first i have to change the input on the blueray to HDMI in so it then projects that device to another HDMI port, but even that doesnt work

I have tried pojector, and duplicating the screen on both screens, I even tried just on HDMI but it was trying to project it to something that wasnt their so i had to restart my computer to get my screen back on my laptop.
