Hp Dv7-4100t connecting to Samsung HDTV

Hey all,

My first post and it's in the form of a question been bugging me for a while, I'm pretty computer savvy but can't figure it out..


Connected to the tv just fine, but for some reason when the laptop screen goes off (obviously computer is still running) I lose the signal to the tv also, the only time it stays while idle is when i'm watching a movie. You can imagine how annoying this is when playing music, i gotta either keep the screen on or keep moving the mouse to prevent laptop screen from going off..


I'm using Windows 7, and I know its in power management, but where is the setting that lets you set situtations like "Keep signal to HDTV forever" or something, signal is lost when the screen goes off

help!

 

Maybe in graphic card settings?

 

Thanks so much for the reply, But I cant find it could you point me in the right direction?

 

If you have an ATI graphic card is in catalyst control center CCC, if you have a geforce it is in whatever is named the Nvidia controls.

 

lol I know where it is, and what it is.. Mine is Catalyst Control Center, the settings im looking for isnt there, infact there is nothing under power management ..

Closest I can do it set laptop screen off and use only tv screen, which isnt what am i'm trying to do and thats in windows settings

 

In CCC>power play settings you have battery/Plug in settings

also there is:

windows control panel>power options> choose when to turn off the screen

 

That doesn't help me. Re-read my first post, I'm trying to keep the signal live on my tv when my laptop screen sleeps

 

Anyone?????

 

Can't help more than what i said. Maybe contact HP support.
