Display issue while connecting to the Projector

[RajeshNambiar]

Hello, I am uanble to see the desktop Icons while connecting this laptop to the projector on "EXTEND"  display option. Other options (Duplicate, Second screen) are working fine. I have checked and updated the latest graphic drivers and all.

So please help me to resolve the issue.

Welcome to the HP Forums 🙂 

I would like to take a moment and thank you for using this forum, it is a great place to find answers. 

As I understand you need help connecting to the projector,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Which port are you using with the device?

Have you checked if this device works on an alternate projector or TV, etc...?

While you respond to that, here's what you need to know:

Types of video connectors for computer display devices

Know the video connectors on your computer and display devices to avoid problems and get the best possible picture quality.

There are two types of video transfer methods: Digital and Analog. If you try to connect a digital connector to an analog port or vice versa, you will not be able to view video. Also, if you attempt to play protected high-definition digital content, such as Blu-ray movies, over an analog connection, you will probably get an error message or the movie will play at lower quality resolutions.

Click the appropriate heading or the accompanying plus (+) sign to expand the following information:

• HDMI (digital) connector
• DisplayPort (digital) connector
• DVI (digital/analog) connector
• VGA and SVGA (analog) connector
• S-video and Composite (analog) connector
