Alienware Laptop Not Finding Monitor While On Hdmi

Just bought a new HP laptop & was having trouble finding the right HDMI cable, I bought the Belkin and it's exactly what I needed!

Help protect my sons Alienware Laptop

I have been using this for a month to display my laptop on an external HDMI monitor. Works great. Monitor pops on as soon as i plug it in.

It's same the picture and more perfect for my 17" laptop alienware and have many space for everything

While it is annoying that SmallHD has the female end so far inside the frame of the housing, this cable is great. I needed it to go from my SmallHD monitor to my Canon EOS R.- Mini HDMI to Micro HDMI - And since I could not find anyone else that made this cable to be able to fit on this monitor, I ended up with this one. Works perfectly and is lightweight so that when I have it perched on my gimble it doesn't add that much more weight that it takes me that much longer to re-balance the gimble.

It's not designed for the purpose, but I use this on video gigs as a client monitor or for checking focus. While it completely lacks video-centric features like LUTs, meters, or freeze, it is easy to set up on a stand with the 1/4 screw mount and is simple to power off a USB-C battery pack (I use a smallrig VB50 or VB99 to power this and several other things at once, will run for over a day). Comparable monitors that are designed for video cost thousands of dollars with thickness measured in inches, which I'm not about to spend or haul to a gig since clients probably couldn't tell the difference anyway. This screen is super thin and lightweight, so it costs almost nothing capacity-wise to bring (slips into a typical laptop pocket in a backpack). I'm sure if you're a travelling businessperson or even video editor/creative this would be a perfect addition to your laptop. The colors are particularly good, comparable to the OLED I edit on, which is what I wanted. A personal factory calibration slip is included, which actually noticeably exceeded the spec'd delta-E for my screen. Obviously with OLED do not expect it to work well in sunlight or bright environments as it is relatively dim, this is for indoor or dimly-lit environments only. I was particularly impressed with the folding flap/stand, which is attached not with adhesives, but simple magnets, so it is easy to remove completely or add it on for protection. I guess my only complaints would be the use of mini-HDMI instead of full HDMI (understandable, but mildly annoying- make sure you buy the right cable if you need to use HDMI in), and the 1080p resolution. While 1080p is totally fine for a 13 screen, I'd love to see a 4K version as that would make an ideal monitor for checking focus. That would put pixel density on-par with 7 1080p screens.

This monitor tackles the problem of convenience through creative use of magnets that mount to the back side of your laptop. While other screens require standing mechanisms of their own, this one slides behind your laptop and to the side. I can see this feature being loved or hated, but you can choose to not use the magnets if you do not like it. It is a creative and convenient solution in my opinion. The screen resolution and brightness is pretty good too.

The monitor itself is super impressive. One can choose between the HDMI and the Display port, and choose for it to either stand on the desk or be mounted onto a wall. At first, I have opted for the former, but unfortunately, it ended up claiming almost half of my desk. It might work better with a corner one however. As for mounting it, this was quite a feat! But it worked great. Once the monitor gets to work, it is truly a sight to behold. I have tried connecting it to both my laptop and my computer. While the latter had of course better results as far as for example vivacity of colours goes, it didn’t do too shabby even when connected to a laptop (although, naturally, one can see and feel the difference between the employed graphics cards). Work 12/10: I work in translation, so I often need to have several reference documents as well as dictionaries pulled up. In this regard, this monitor is unbeatable as it manages that and more, with no fuss or problems, mainly thanks to the "Samsung Easy Setting Box" which enables custom screen splitting, so that you can have different windows in predefined areas. While this sounds good as a concept, it does not work that well in practise as it bugs a bit. Free time: Gaming - let’s be honest, this monitor is in a category of its own. The overall picture quality is incredible, as is the depth of colours. 100-120 FPS is no problem, which translates into a truly immersive gaming experience. As far as watching movies and videos goes, this is something that needs getting used to, as there are bound to be some chunky black bars. However, this small drawback hardly outweighs all the positives. To wrap up, it does excellent what it was made to do – gaming – but is nowhere near shabby when it comes to arranging your work either. The single pane really spoils you, as opposed to working across two monitors, and I am not sure I would ever be able to go back!

I had been debating whether or not to get a separate monitor for my Service Pro laptop. While I think it would benefit me in terms of productivity, the second monitor might differ too much from my laptop in terms of monitor size and height. When I came across the Mobile Pixels monitor I thought I should give this a try, and I'm glad I did. The monitor sits perfectly side by to my Service Pro as a separate monitor and it does not feel out of place at all. The resolution of the Mobile Pixels is great, and having a second monitor helps tremendously when I am working on my coding assignments. I would recommend this product.

I recently also bought a Samsung UHD monitor from B & H to use with my laptop, and though the monitor includes an HDMI cable, a friend recommended my buying the Mini DisplayPort Adapter Cable for even higher quality than the HDMI. Not only was it inexpensive, it definitely makes a worthwhile difference in sharper and richer picture quality, and would highly recommend this product to anyone wishing to improve their monitor picture quality.
