I have a Lenovo Ideacentre All in 1 PC. It has an HDMI out socket on the back which I tested yesterday with a lead to my TV. The TV didn't recognise it and I could find no option on the PC on how to display onto the TV. I tried detecting another screen in Screen properties with no luck.
There is nothing in the online manual about in so I throught I would ask on here then if no luck I will contact Lenovo to see if there is a solution.

Some TVs are the issue not detecting the PC output. Is your TV HD or HD ready? Try setting your screen to 1920x1080/60 or 1280x720/60 and then looking for the 'Duplicate Display' in your graphics driver.

Hint: A little clue as to the spec of your PC may be helpful. And the make of TV. Try pushing the HDMI cable in until you feel it stop in the socket. And wiggle.

I believe some of those have an HDMI In as well as HDMI Out, so you can use it as a monitor for other things. So make sure you are connecting to the right one.

You won't necessarily see anything much on the TV, mine just de-greys the respective HDMI input icon which you obviously select on the TV.

It simply works from Windows 10(or 8.1)

Notification Icon (far right on taskbar) > Project > Select from the 4 options, extend, duplicate, etc. It works with different resolutions. Click on loudspeaker icon for selecting TV sound.
In my case 1 Dell monitor and 2 Sony TVs.

If you have Intel HD graphics you can also use the HD Graphics Control Panel. Right click on Desktop > (Intel icon)Graphics Options/Properties > Display > Multiple Displays.

There are also routes via Windows 10 settings, and Control Panel.

The model is Lenovo Ideacentre 300 All-in-One PC, Intel Core i3, 8GB,

Will have a closer look when I get back in tonight. The socket I found is on the back next to 4 USB ports




If you have Intel HD graphics you can also use the HD Graphics Control Panel. Right click on Desktop > (Intel icon)Graphics Options/Properties > Display > Multiple Displays.

I think i tried that last night (It was late and I was tired) but will try again. BTW it is Intel HD Graphics on board.
