    Hi, I've been trying to hook my L502X up to external TV and external monitor with no success. Has anyone else had any issues with this? Thx Lee

    what output did you used to connect your lappy to the screen?
    I sucesfully conected mine to a vga monitor using a cheap minidisplayport to vga adaptor I bought on amazon.

    also conected the laptop to a 1080p screen via the hdmi port and no issues, (well, I couldnt output any higher sound than stereo over hdmi but its ok I guess ....)

    have tried using the built in hmdi port, straight into a tv with no luck. also tried a hmdi converter on the end with no luck either.

    did you tried getting into nvidia's control panel at the screen's secion?

    try also to poweroff the whole computer and start the machine with the hdmi cable plugged and the tv on. close laptop screen may help too :)
