Hey,
i bought LG FHD TV , when i connect my laptop there is no signal.
checks that i made which were unsuccesful:
-2 different hdmi input, even though those inputs works fine with my Cable Converter.
-2 different laptops (Acer,Lenovo) which worked with my previous TV (Toshiba Regza FHD)
-a different HDMI cable.
-projection with FN keys (Duplicate,Extend,Project Only).
-power up my laptop while the HDMI cable connected to the TV
-checks the HDMI inputs and cable heads

*updated lenovo driver,Intel (R) HD Graphics 3000

nothing seems to work.have any ideas?

Have you check the supported resolutions for your TV. Set the laptop to use a standard 720p resolution and see if that works.

When you plug in the TV, what pops up in the Display/Screen Resolution window?

When you plug in the TV, right click the desktop, click screen resolution. What does it say under displays?
