    Are you talking about your laptop display? Go to Settings > Displays > Resolution. Select a resolution from the list and check if it works. Play with other options as well to get it working.

As you said you tried all the previous things, maybe you have an issue with your HDMI cable connector. Maybe the wire has a defect.



Check the connection or change the wire and see if it works - that fixed the problem in my case.

  • Monitor settings or

This will look something like: 800x600
or 1366x768 etc. There will also be an
Auto mode.
Now you have to change the Resolution.
Once you select the new resolution the program will apply the new
settings and you have 15 sec to decide whether you want to stay the
settings or revert.
