Dell Latitude E6400 - Displayport and Windows7 = Not Working?

I have a Dell Latitude E6400 and want to connect the laptop to my TV (Samsung LCD) via HDMI.

I bought a DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (http://www.delock.de/produkte/gruppen/Konverter/Delock_Adapter_Displayport_zu_HDMI_20cm_65091.html)

My TV still complain, that no HDMI device is connected.

I use Windows 7 x64 with the nVidia driver from dell.com. Whats wrong here?

Thanks.

 

Try Nvidia drivers form Nvidia.com (I think they are more recent).

Use the Nvidia Control Panel, to enable your secondary display (your TV).
Within that panel you should have several options that you can play to try to get to work.

We also have to assume that your adapter might be broken (manufacture problem?)

 

Thank you for reply.

On nVidia Panel I dont see the second display.

I try the nVidia driver. If this dosen't work I try to get a new one.

 

In the Nvidia Control Panel, go under "Display" > "Setup multiple Display" section. There is a link called "My display is not shown...", right under the white box. Click on it, and see if it helps.

Also, remember that your TV must be turned on, and the right input mode is selected, else the input may be detected.

 

Dosen't help.

Anyone using Displayport & Windows7 here?

 

Yep - on an m6400. I needed to click on "detect displays" button in the nvidia multi-monitor settings to find it .

I use the VGA output though as the displayport output is posterized on my monitor (looks like its using 16bit, not 24bit it is set to).
