Hi John,

As of now, I would suggest you to try the steps mentioned below.

Method 1: Connect a Standard VGA display to the computer and check if it works

a. Click Start and click Control Panel and then click on Personalization.

b. Click on Display Settings.

c. Under Display Settings click the Settings Tab.

d. Then Select the monitor display from the drop down under Display.

e. Put a checkmark against “Extend my Windows Desktop onto this monitor”.

f. Click on Apply and then click the Advanced Button.

g. Click the Graphics card tab that is installed on the computer, for example, Intel Graphics media Accelerator, and then click the Graphics properties button under Advanced.

h. Next, under the Display devices select Television as Single Display and under Multiple Display Select primary device as television and secondary device as notebook or laptop.

i. Click on Ok on all the windows to close the Display properties.

Check if this works.

Method 2: Update your video drivers
