good luck
Yup on mine it's F4, and it allows you to hit Duplicate / Extend / Projector only / etc.

That's not doing it. It's like my factory installed NVIDA video card can't find the HDMI port. I've updated the driver and it didn't help either. When I right click my desktop and jump into the NVIDIA panel, I see the following:




So then I select "my display is not shown" and select Rigorous Display detection, then "Force Television Detection" but notice how the "restart now" button is grayed out, so I can't use it to Restart, even though it checks the box. If I close out of the NVIDIA panel and go back in, the Force Television Detection box is unchecked again.

It's like some sicko software guy designed this thing. Arrrghhhh
