LG LCD TV HDMI port not working

I have bought a LG LCD TC recently. Model is 42LB5RT. When I connect my laptop to the LCD TV through an HDMI port, the LCD doesnot detect the laptop. Laptop is working fine through the the HDMI port on my frineds TV. It seems that the software in my TV needs to be updated. However I cannot find the software on internet.

Have you tried rebooting the tv with the laptop on so that it can possibly detect the laptop?

SOURCE: LG 42LC2DB LCD TV Flickers when Ps3 is connected via HDMI port

Make sure you have the PS3 set to the correct frequency for the TV. Many cannot accept 1080p / 24fps etc.

Try different settings.

I hope this helps.

How can I connect my TV to a Dell laptop via HDMI?

if oyur LG tv has multiple HDMI ports, then you might need to choose the correct HDMI port from the 'INPUT' menu. Does the HDMI port on TV (sidepanel / back) has a sticker which denotes the number? if yes, then on tv remote, choose INPUT /SOURCE menu, it will show TV, Component, RGB, HDMI1 , HDMI2, HDM3, etc (depending your tv model, these options might vary) and choose the port number which you plugged the HDMI into. if you do not have a number on the port, then you might need to select each HDMI from "INPUT' menu and wait for a couple of seconds.

How can I connect my laptop to my LCD TV through HDMI cable (brand:LG) (model:LF15 series) HD ready?

You'll need to make sure that your laptop & LCD TV have an HDMI port. If they both do, simply connect an HDMI cable from your laptop to your LCD TV and make sure the input on the LCD TV is set to receive A/V from the HDMI port.

I have a LG LCD TV 26LX2R and I recently bought a Sony Blu-Ray BCP-S580. If i connect them via Composite or Component cables i get ok video and audio. But when i connect them via HDMI i get excellent image...

I can't speak on whether or not the apple tv has such a setting but the Bluray players does. You go into the bluray player's settings and change the audio output.Your choices should be 2 ch possibly hdmi, bitstream, pcm, and auto. Try hdmi, 2 ch, and pcm because if you have it on auto you might not get sound via an hdmi cable and it's probably not bitstream but try bitstream if none of the others work.

I have the LG Dn798 hooked up through my Yamaha receiver

Does it work via component or in a different HDMI port? If it does it sounds like either a bad HDMI input on the tv or a bad HDMI output on the receiver.

I would also verify that the receiver is 100% compliant with the HDMI standard as not all devices are.
