eiki projector not connecting hdmi laptop

High Definition Media Input (HDMI), although proprietary, is a wildly successful digital video and audio transfer interface. In the next section, I will talk about the most relevant ones of these cable types and their uses in thorough detail. USB connector and 12V trigger work with both analog and digital connections, and therefore, does not fall under the two categories. Analog cables include VGA, Component Video, S-Video, Composite Audio & Video, 3.5mm input, 3.5mm output, etcetera.

HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, DVI, Optical are digital cables. There are two broad ranges you can divide into the types of connections or cables a projector supports, which are – digital cables and analog cables. How to connect your laptop to a projector.The second blue box in the Settings tab of the Display Properties box is grayed out and not active I don't think the extended desktop is enabled. So it seems as though something is preventing whatever is on top of the desktop (ie., icons, or powerpoint) from being sent to the projector.īased on the reply below (from jingyenshiau), I checked for an extended desktop.

It seems to me that the physical connection is ok since the image of the wallpaper/desktop is sent to the projector I’ve changed the background, and it does display properly on the wall (via the projector). If I have the powerpoint slides on the laptop, the image via the projector still only displays the wallpaper/background on the wall (ie., the slides are not visible thru the projector) - (which is interesting because the background is not visible on the laptop monitor - only the powerpoint slides are visible). If I have the desktop on the laptop monitor, it (the laptop) display both the icons and background on the desktop, but only the background on the wall thru the projector (the icons are not visible). But when I try to display on both, it displays ok on the laptop, but on the wall/projector it only shows the desktop wallpaper/background. Laptop alone works, wall/projector alone works.

I used the Function and F8 keys to toggle among the 3 settings (laptop only, wall/projector only, and both laptop and wall/projector). I’m not able to project the slides to both my laptop monitor and the projector at the same time. Hi - have a problem similar to that described below.
