I have a Dell Studio 17", and am currently wondering why it is not sending a video signal through the HDMI to my TV. It's worked in the past, and the HDMI cable is good, any thoughts?

I'd try this ColonelOne . Connect Studio 17 to HDMI TV, at the first you
need to set the output option in graphics card settings of Studio 17
to TV/external source. Then here’s the way to activate the TV out:

- Connect whatever cable you’re using and reboot Studio 17 laptop system.
- Once it’s rebooted, open your graphics card’s display options
- Click on the video card’s TV (/Output Device) tab.
- Click Settings => Advanced => TV (/Output Device)
- Choose ‘Enable output to TV’, different brands of video cards may
have slightly different word such ‘Output Device/TV’.

Thanks again, Matt, however the picture does not take up all of the TV, is that just because I have a large, 42", TV?
