I finally got my everything to work yesterday. My laptop Video was through the TV and Jimi was playing in Surround Sound, but even when the projector is set on "Duplicate" (Duplicate of what's on my Lappy Screen) I justget these Blue Lines on my Laptop screen. They're both Toshiba Products and everything. Help?

Also, Even VGA looks good in 48".

Hello?

You're laptop's screen probably can't handle the resolution of the TV. Try using your laptop's native resolution.

It is, It's set at 1366x768,

Now I made this happen.

Maybe a Graphics Card issue?

Looks like when one is set up correctly, the other gets pissed off. Incompatibility.

You're being very incompetent. Stop staring at the pictures and read. :/

I set it on "duplicate" Therefore the same screen should be displayed on both monitors.

pictures get me excited :C.

it could be the graphics card. i'd go check if there's a new driver for your laptop.

The graphics card may not be designed to be able to show something on the screen and an external screen at the same time.

dorkdotdan · August 28, 2011, 12:19:25 PM

Here's what I know,

-Both Resolutions are 1366x768
-Only the "Main" Monitor displays correctly
-I have Windows 7 64bit.
-My Graphics Card is AMD Raedon 6250 Graphics
-My Processor is a mere 1.00GHz

Why would it even attempt then?

Moriarty · August 28, 2011, 12:50:18 PM

what it sounds like is
the screens are different sizes
but then they aren't
so it might just be the laptop :C

dorkdotdan · August 28, 2011, 12:54:28 PM

Yeah, I've whittled it down to that, Though a lot of the topics on the Toshiba Forums on this subject provide little info.

Try selecting it to extend desktop space, see if you can change resolutions around with that.

Ethan · August 28, 2011, 04:37:12 PM

First off, try your resolution change. Put it in 640x480 or 800x600 because everything supports them. :)

If that doesn't work, is it possible to use DVI or HDMI to hook them up? VGA is an brown townog cable, DVI and HDMI are digital and better at compatibility.
If say your TV has an HDMI in, and your Laptop has a DVI out, you could try using a converter cable or just a converter gadget at one end, so the signal is digital.
