HELP! I can't view my laptop on my 32 inch TV via HDMI cable?

Hello I have tried everything for this but no luck!. My laptop is a HP pavilion DV3 2130ea. The internal graphics card is Nvdia Geforce G105M. The TV model is LG 32LE4500 which is a full HD 32 Inch LED TV. I have connected 2 different types of HDMI cable to this TV and this laptop. The laptop does "see" the LG tv in "control panel". However, when I connect the HDMI the tv goes blank and then "no signal". I have tried all the HDMI ports on the TV but no luck!. However, the PS3 works perfectly on the TV and also this laptop did work with another smaller HDTV. I have spoken to customer service but they can't seem to resolve it - they say the TV is fine but it's the laptop's problem. I wish there is some sort of solution for this. He also says that I should keep the laptop on low res as the laptops graphics card won't be able to handle the 32 inch tv. I have tried all of this. Please help guys or advise me on who to call? THANKS!!!!

    try a different resolution on the laptop, also try just a vga cable(blue coloured one) hdmi is for audio and video so maybe the laptop doesnt support hdmi,

    but its most likely resolution to change it right click on desktop go to display settings and change the resolution to either 1280x720 or something more normal numbers, but vga works best for linking a pc to a tv all new tv has a pc slot whcih is a vga connector

    The 720p vs 1080p is a show screen determination, and there's a conversion technique to make the image 1080p from a 720p action picture if that happens to be what that's. to surely get the determination takes application examining it. The 60 HZ vs 120Hz is a refresh fee on the show screen impacts the smoothness of imagery flow around the show screen. some human beings (approximately 4% of the inhabitants) can come across the adaptation in a pair of 40 two inch television between 60Hz and 120Hz, and in gaming it additionally makes a difference as motions may well be very quickly. In commonplace video clips on a 32" television, I doubt no count number in case you could tell a 120Hz from 60Hz refresh fee in any respect in terms of image smoothness of flow. The pc HDMI may well be limited to 60Hz as i've got self belief all pc LCDs are 60Hz in basic terms.
