Are you sure that the settings aren't stuck on the wrong display I know I always have trouble with which is 1 and which is 2.

I can run Hdmi from my computer directly to my TV with out any converter so it's pretty simple for me.

What happens when you disconnect the computer cable to the TV at the computer end, does the monitor come back on.

I notice that your monitor setting is 1600 by 900 thats pretty low for a Desktop PC can it be set to match the TV which is probably 1080?.

If so what number does it identify as and what happens if you reconnect the TV?

Does the TV show up as a source?

It's hard for me to guess but I'd start by getting it working normally with the monitor make sure your drivers are up to date and then try plug everything back in and tell it to duplicate the display.

I see that your computer has one Hdmi port, I assume that you are using that for your monitor?

If you can't get it to work Amazon has an Hdmi cable splitter for $10.99 you might want to try that and avoid the converter.

You can switch where the output goes with a button and the light will show you where the output is directed.

Hi

Make sure that the TV is set to the HDMI from the computer, mine says "HDMi2" so that the computer will recognize it.
Right click on the desktop and select Display Settings.

Find Multiple Displays, click Detect.

If it finds the TV you should see the option to mirror the two displays.

Hi
If I click om detect I get a message didn't detect another display.
I have two square 1 and 2
When I click on identify on 1, the number 1 pops up
When I click identify on 2 the number 1 pops ups instead of 2 (here is the problem)
Advanced setting shows display 1 monitor display 2 TV
It appears the problem is that it not detecting 2
In multiple display the options I have : extend these displays
clicking on the arrow: duplicate these displays, show only on 1, show only on 2
no mirror display

 

[Mike Kingsbury]

I'm just not sure what's going on, If it is showing display 1 and 2 it's seeing both displays what happens if you click on duplicate these displays? I think that is the correct terminology not mirror now that you mention it.

I just discovered that my new computer has 3 display port connections and only one Hdmi port so I had to order a converter myself to connect it to my TV. My old computer had several Hdmi ports. I'm using my Hdmi port for my monitor.

The adapter won't be here until tomorrow I'll know more after I get it and do this myself with my new computer.

But I think that if you are seeing 1 and 2 it's detecting your TV. When you click identify the number 2 should pop up on the TV not on your monitor.

 

[PaulHi]

If I click identify on square 1, 1 shows on my desktop, 2 shows on TV
If I click identify on square 2 , 1 shows on my desktop, 2 shows on TV
If I click on duplicate these displays selecting show only on i, whatever is on the desktop is on the TV.
The problem is monitor aspect ration.
Monitor maximum graphics resolution (HP 2011x/ 2011xi/ 2011s) is 1600 x 900 @ 60Hz
Need to get another monitor such as 2211f / 2211x: 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz
What is mirror from desktop to TV is desktop theme and taskbar on the bottom part of TV.
Sometimes I get images from desktop to TV
Thank you for your time.

It helps if your TV and Monitor are the same resolutions.

That used to be easy when everything was standard HD but now my TV is I think 1920 by 1080, and my Computer is 3440 by 1440, however when I had my HDMI cable hooked up to the TV it did seem to display correctly I'm not sure what was being cut off.

But it will adjust to some extent at least. My adapter is supposed to show up today and I'll get it set up to do both and I'll see what happens and report back in the next couple of days.

 

[PaulHi]

The TV and monitor have to be the same resolution to work correctly. I'm able to duplicate from desktop to TV.
I'm buying a HP FHD 1920 x1080 monitor. I should then be able to mirror.
The aspect ratio resolution has to be adjusted in order to display correctly.
Did the adapter solve your problem?

 

[Mike Kingsbury]

I haven't installed it yet but it did arrive, I'll try and do it later today.

I'll post back when I find out. The reason that I'm using the HDMI port for my monitor was that the onboard graphics have problems displaying at the resolution and aspect ratio of my monitor when using the display port. I could see the display on my TV but the monitor stayed black until the video card kicked in. Once the Video card was running I could see both OK but I was just setting up my computer and didn't pay much attention to what was on the TV at the time. So I'm not sure how well it was working.

I only have one HDMI port on my video card so I had to get the adapter.
