So, I connected my HP Envy 15t-j100 laptop (with Intel HD Graphics 4600) to my Samsung PN43D450 43-Inch 720p 600 Hz Plasma HDTV using a Dynex 4ft HDMI cable. The "duplicate displays" setting works fine, but none of the other modes work. If I try switching to "second screen only" or "extend displays", the TV screen comes up with a "mode not supported" signal. I want to use the TV as a monitor with the laptop lid closed, but I can't.
I've tried lowering the resolution and changing the modes manually in "display settings", but none of these seem to work with "second screen only" or even "extend displays".
