[QUOTE="Buzzard2010, post: 1177714, member: 176415"] Welcome to Mac-Forums First off when it is plugged in play around with the resolution settings in System Prefs > Display, look under the "Arrangement" tab to check that it knows the tv is plugged in (you should have two squares you can drag around). If that does not solve it try resetting the PRAM and NVRAM on your MBP to see if that solves the issue. Resetting PRAM and NVRAM Shut down the computer. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4. Turn on the computer. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. Hold them down just after you hear the startup sounds. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time. Release the keys More info about this here: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379]Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM[/url] - Simon [/QUOTE]
