CONNECTING MY LAPTOP TO A BRAVIA SONY TV

Welcome to the forums Paul :emotion-21:

We can't offer suggestions, until we have more information.

What laptop do you have (and what OS are you using)?

What connections do the laptop and the TV have - i.e. HDMI, DVI, VGA?

A HDMI - HDMI cable is the best option, if both the laptop and the TV have HDMI connections?

A DVI - HDMI cable would be the next best option (DVI from the laptop, to HDMI on the TV).

To activate TV Out:

Connect whatever cable you're using to both the TV and your computer, then reboot your laptop.

Open the graphics card's display options, and click on the video card's TV (/Output Device) tab.
Click Settings --> Advanced --> TV (/Output Device), and choose 'Enable output to TV'.
Different brands of video cards may have slightly different wording of course - i.e. 'Output Device/TV'.

(Restore the display back to your computer monitor by following the above steps, except choose to send the signal to the computer monitor instead of the TV.)



Also double-check the audio output, by right-clicking on the small speaker icon in the taskbar, and making sure it's set for 'external output' (/HDMI)?
