TV Detected as a Device rather than a display


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I just installed Win 8.1 and my TV connected via HDMI is not getting detected as a secondary display.

 

Win 8.1 can detect it but only as a device. Not as a display. It also comes up under device manager a digital media device. 

 

How do i fix this? I had no such problems with Win 7.

 

 

Thanks.

Check your drivers,

You might need to uninstall the device, and possibly the display drivers, and try re installing, (if it worked as a display in 7 my gut feeling is a possible driver issue not recognising the TV as a display)
