I am also facing the same problem. It only shows the desktop (with no icons).

I found the root cause of the problem. You pc needs to have the proper graphics card and driver in order for the pc to tv converter to work. Check if your Windows desktop context menu (right click the desktop) has 'Graphics Properties' option where from you can set up multi-monitor (dual display clone/extented desktop). Otherwise your tv screen will only show the desktop without any desktop icons. If the above context menu is present, you can definitely resolve this issue by enabling multi-monitor display and adjusting the screen resolution to a lower value.

Other than defective cable, basic trouble shooting: which i guess you already tied. Connect both end properly, make sure micro HDMI goes all the way in. Check you TV input & select the appropriate input for PC. Mine worked without any issue.

Did you try to unplug the HDMI cable? If you switch input source or bring up the menu, does this show the overlay screen with the correct colors? Otherwise search for this at the internet.

i just received my converter, plugged it into my computer monitor (with HDMI) and the picture/ sound cuts in and out. The Monitor says "no input detected". i wait a few seconds and it comes back. I wonder if mine is defective?

Okay, I just connected it via HDMI. Big improvement. I don't understand why. I have a 720P TV and I thought component gives 720. But the HDMI really made a difference.Thanks

It sounds like you did everything correct. Try other ports on the TV. My tv has PC, HDMI 1 and 2 and when I have my laptop hooked up to the tv I have to use the HDMI 2 setting. Good luck.

That is how my computer is setup. Check to make sure that you have HDMI plugs on both devices.

Your laptop is probably viewing this as two screens. The way to fix it would be to drag the window that you want to view to the right (or perhaps to the left depending on how the settings are set) and then it should show up on your TV, although it will not be on your laptop. In other words your laptop is not in mirror mode.

William, I'll check on that tomorrow when I'm back at the office. If I forget, just post here again and I should be notified - otherwise shoot me an email. AEB35.75@gmail.com. Regardless, its a great unit - perfect for an additional monitor and very easy to toggle between the TV and external monitor functionalities. Only complaint is the sound is slightly subpar - I'll try to address your question tomorrow, like I said. Cheers!

Ello Peter ... there's a toggle switch on the front of the monitor ... which honestly I've never used, as I've only ever had one device with it. I've either had my PC plugged into the DVI port - or - now - currently - I'm using it as a short term solution till I figure out which tv I'm going to purchase next.Thanks.

Try going into your system preference then displays, there should be a tab for system preferences. If u don't see it try hitting detect displays. If that isn't working make sure you are on the right HDMI channel on your tv. Mine won't work if I'm in full screen mode in a program so maybe that's affecting it too? If none of that is working try another HDMI port until it does. If that isn't working you may have a defective cable

I agree and disagree.. I plugged mine in HDMI, same thing; DVI on the other hand lines up perfectly. This works out cause my r9 270 gfx card has HDMI, VGA, and DVI so my HDMI is empty for my 42 inch ;). But, I think you would have to manually stretch the screen through the irritating menu. For people who haven't gotten this yet, its not that bad; they just don't label the buttons. But if you can't navigate through a monitor screen, well you shouldn't be using a computer lol.. Great monitor so far!

Please excuse my ignorance, but could someone tell me what HDMI out actually allows you to do? I'm guessing hook up your netbook to an external monitor/tv for alternate display? I'm I correct? Thanks!

It has been a couple months since I have played with Keedox, but (if I remember correctly) I believe you have an option for HDMI output in the setup menu....I just started with that menu and went from there. Just a methodology that I have followed for three decades when it comes to any computer startup

I bought a DVI to HDMI converter to run from my laptop to my new 46" sony bravia. worked fine at first but now it will only display a thin strip of the image at the top of the lcd tv screen. I can see the web address bar or anything at the top of the computer screen but the rest of the tv screen is blank. The laptop computer screen is also flickering while this takes place. Have any suggestions? any tips are greatly appreciated, thanks

Double check that the tv and pc are on and functional. The hdmi should be plugged in to the hdmi port in the graphics card, not the motherboard. Change the input on the tv to the hdmi that the pc is connected to. Ex. Hdmi 1 if it is connected to port 1. If that diesnt work try another cable or return the graphics card

Yes, I did! On the short side, where the power plug goes in, there is a half-moon shaped hole with nothing in it. My tv screen is rolling and I think the dip switches are supposed to be in the hole, so I could switch to NTSC. Do you have the rolling screen problem too?
