If I connect my TV with my laptop with a HDMI cable, my TV displays only the desktop even if on the laptop I see something else. What should I do?

  • Did you try pulling windows over the edge of your laptop display? I guess they are configured as "next to each other"

  • You are right, they don't have the same resolution I think. If I drag the window of any program to the right - bottom corner of my laptop's monitor I can see it on the left - top corner of my TV's display. How can I fix it without dragging manually every window?

Go to System Settings > Hardware > Displays There you can set anything related to display resolution, orientation, placement related to each other, "next to each other"/"clones", etc...

  • Thanks, I solved it now, but I have one more problem: the sound is still on the laptop, how can I switch it to the TV?

  • It depends on whether both your PC and TV support audio transmission via HDMI (I've heard not all do) Click the speaker-icon in the panel and select Audio settings If both devices support it, you may select the audio device that should be used in the appearing dialog.
