Sorry, it seems I missed a couple of posts...

Greenish shouldn't happen, lol. Maybe a bad cable or port? Anyway, can't help you from here...

You're going to have to search (or contact the laptop manufacturer) to figure out how to connect your laptop to a TV. HDMI is a pretty flexible standard, you shouldn't be having these problems.

Hey!

Was it a full screen of green, or just tinted green?

I was talking with a friend of mine, and apparently, green over HDMI is a thing, lol. If the picture was solid green, it's some sort of handshake problem. Many times it can be fixed by unplugging and plugging the HDMI cable back in, or starting your devices in a certain order.

Techwalla: What Causes the Green Screen With an HDMI?

Most of the time (from what I'm told), it's just a cable problem, and you don't need to go as far as to unplug your devices as stated in this article...

I had some wierd sh!t happening between my desktop and 4K 42" TV. instead of green I was getting reds and pinks. Was able to correct it in settings but it happened every time I used my TV as a second monitor.
Turns out my HDMI cable had a bad connector (thank God it wasn't a port). Replaced cable with an Amazon Basics HDMI cable and haven't had a problem since.........

Star Wars didn't change my life, but the special effects gave me A New Hope!

Jemma Simmons: Right? I always think the same thing when I see a movie that was adapted from source material but has been changed so much that it's unrecognizable. Nov 24, 2024 23:08:46 GMT

ayanami: I gotta admit that "World War Z" is an incredibly cool name, but still, seems a bit pricey if you're just gonna ignore the whole rest of the novel.

Nov 24, 2024 23:10:42 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Exactly!

Nov 24, 2024 23:11:32 GMT

ayanami: The book sounds really cool btw. It's about one guy 10 years after the zombie outbreak gathering different perspectives from a bunch of survivors, so you have like a dozen different stories/settings in the novel. Plus, the author is actually Mel Brooks'... Nov 24, 2024 23:12:58 GMT

ayanami: ...son and apparently there's an audio book version of the novel featuring a bunch of Hollywood talents! (Gotta have connections in life!

) Nov 24, 2024 23:13:41 GMT

Jemma Simmons: What?! That's wild! I'll have to check into it! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Sounds way more interesting than the movie, anyway! Nov 24, 2024 23:14:32 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Oh, just FYI, next weekend is a holiday weekend here, so I won't be able to be around.

Nov 24, 2024 23:15:41 GMT

ayanami: Absolutely! Which makes it even more bewildering that they went with such a lame clichéd Hollywood story instead. Which, btw, is actually getting a sequel next year. Who'd have thunk it?! Nov 24, 2024 23:17:08 GMT

ayanami: Ah, alright, thanks for the heads up. Nov 24, 2024 23:18:07 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Yeah, that's something I've noticed lately too. Why the sudden need for sequels for 20-30 year old movies? Most of the time they're crap and I'd definitely rather see new material. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:11 GMT

ayanami: I think I'm gotta call it a night now, though. I've got kind of an early morning coming up tomorrow and it's getting late over here. Nov 24, 2024 23:20:18 GMT

Jemma Simmons: Alrighty! You have a good couple of weeks then!

I'll be spending next weekend with some family I like and trying to avoid any remotely controversial conversations with others that I spend the rest of the year avoiding

ayanami: Tbf, World War Z is "only" from 2013, but yeah, I get your drift. Answer: Hollywood producers are all a bunch of chicken sh*ts, who only want to invest money into stuff with a recognisable name and a good track record, so only sequels, prequels and reboots Nov 24, 2024 23:22:41 GMT

ayanami: From now until eternity!
