Hello,

I would like to know how to connect a mini PC (emachines, running XP) to a Samsung TV via HDMI. I connected the PC to the TV using a VGA cable, but nothing happens (no signal detected). I searched the forums and in the control panel, but I can't find anything...
Is it at least compatible?
Thank you for your help :)

Configuration: Windows XP / Safari 535.7

    Hello, here is a more precise response: First, connect the powered-on television to the PC's graphics card (s/video composite vga plus audio) or HDMI
    classic method "Vista" "seven"
    control panel; appearance and personalization; personalization; display settings click on screen 2; check extend the desktop to this screen; set the resolution to the smallest ratio of the two screens; apply
    second method (xp)
    Go to control panel; double-click on your graphics card control panel (nvidia or GeForce)
    configure multiple displays
    select: clone and if the TV is not detected, turn it on and restart the computer
    click on the link "my display is not listed"
    advanced display detection and if no television is detected, click yes on the message and restart the PC
    recover the audio signal: connect the audio cable to the headphone or spdif (depending on) output of your sound card right-click on the volume icon in the Windows notification bar
    and choose, playback device select the connected output and click on default
    and restart the software to take the modification into account
    To switch to all digital (see HDI HDMI)
    connect the television to the PC in the window select the type of display: mirror, extended, or only on external screen check: activate presentation settings
    Pal, Secam 420p or 1080i?
    see step 1 and go to your audio card in the section: change the HD signal or format of the driver select the type of connector you are using and then click on the appropriate signal format (ex: THD1080x2) click apply to see the result and save the settings

    You need to have the official drivers from the manufacturer for the audio card
    official driver for the video card
    and you also need the codec pack for XP
    and of course keep your XP up to date (Windows Update)
