I connect one end of the cable to my laptop and the other to the TV
Nothing happens. Am I supposed to change a setting either on the PC or on the TV to show the PC on the HDTV? I have a channel (on my Sony 47") dedicated to PC. Do I use that or an HDMI channel. HDMI 1 is for the TV; HDMI 2 is for the CD/DVD? The PC is an HP laptop Windows 7. I have purchased the Rocketfish RF-G1168 HDMI High Speed Cable to 15.0 Gbps (9 feet). Thanks for your assistance.
You should be sure that your TV input is set to whichever HDMI input you plugged the cable into on the side/back, I don't think a regular channel will work. Also, check your output from your laptop is set to send the video signal out to a monitor (typically you need to hit "FN" and a F key to toggle thru the outputs...on my laptop it's F7)...not sure which one exactly it is on an HP though, but there should be some type of symbol that looks like a monitor.
