Hdmi input not working

It says not supported format on the screen, but my computer doesn't recognize it's hooked up to the TV. I have a dell latitude e6520. It has worked on this TV before and now it has stopped. HDMI cord has only been hooked up to TV and laptop, nothing else. What can I do?

Try right-clicking on your desktop while tv is plugged in and select screen resolution, that should open the properties window that will allow you to activate or change resolutions for the tv or detect it. Make sure that the tv is enabled and if necessary choose to extend your desktop to it.

SOURCE: PS3 dont work

Go through setup on your PS3 with a normal AV cable and un-check the higher resolution boxes (1080p and down) one at a time, unless you know specifically what resolutions your television supports. After un-checking, plug in the HDMI cable and see if it fixes it. Basically, you need to set the PS3 to a supported format for your television.

SOURCE: PS3 (Pal) won't connect to Sylvania HD TV

I just figured it out last night - if you have used your playstation on an hd tv previously, it is set at the highest resolution possible - 1080p. You need to take it back to that tv, and go to display settings on your tv. If you select HDMI as they type of connection you'd like to make, it asks you what resolution your tv supports. In your tv instruction guide, it should give you this information. Check mark all of the resolutions your tv supports, making sure not to confuse 1080i and 1080p. After doing this you can take it back to your other television and it should work.

SOURCE: trying to hook up HDMI to PS3 and the TV keeps

Try using another AV cable (like a normal composite cable) and try going through your PS3 setup. It may be that it is trying to go to 1080p or something because it is the HDMI, which wouldn't work on yours I bet. See if you can disable the higher resolutions and try the HDMI again to see if you can get the 720p to work. Hope this helps!

SOURCE: WHEN USING HDMI INPUTS,WHY DOES T.V. SHOW FORMAT

Ok, there are differing HDMI "Standards" not all TV's play/use all HDMI "Standards". Please have a look at this WiKi it explains far more than can be done here.

SOURCE: Hi! I have a problem with my Sylvania LC320SLX TV.

The problem may be with the Direct TV box, unless you can find another HDMI source to confirm that it is not the TV.

Dell Latitude norking connecting to the Screen TV

Just for information, we are Fixya dot com, we are not LG Support or Dell Support.

It is possible to connect the two. The Dell has an HDMI 2.0 Port. All you have to do is connect to the television and then use the Source button on the television remote to the numbered HDMI socket on the television where the cable is in.

Connect my dell altitude e5400 to my smart tv,,tv has hdmi input,,,

You have to look at the cable connections on both your TV and Laptop. They should both have the same HDMI connector.
Check your Dell Manual to see which connector is the HDMI

If you don't have a manual for your Dell:

Will have the manuals free.

How to hook up Dell laptop to Samsung Dlp tv?

Your Dell D620 only has a VGA Port for output to a external monitor or tv. Your TV will need to have a VGA Port too, otherwise you will need some type of adapter that goes between the laptop and the tv to convert to the type of connection the tv has (svideo, hdmi, dvi, etc.)

One you have the two connections set up to communicate with each other, just select the input source on the tv (pc, computer, hdmi, etc) and then reboot the computer if the image is not show.

After rebooting if the image is not shown, then you will need to toggle the display by some keystrokes. Press and Hold the Fn function key at the lower left hand portion of the keyboard, then hit the F8 key which toggles the display to be either on the laptop only, tv only, both the laptop and tv.
