TVs can be used as the displays for laptops using HDMI. For this, the TV and the laptop should have the HDMI port supported. And we need a HDMI cable.
I have ASUS X550LD laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on it and Sony Bravia KDL-40HX750. The laptop and the TV is connected through a HDMI 1.4a cable. To enable the display following are steps done.
Open the system display settings.
In display settings, we can see the built-in display enabled.
Select the TV display (Sony 40" in my case).
Switch-on the TV display.
Also set the launcher placement to TV.
Now switch-off the built-in display.
And apply the settings.
Now the display would be on the TV.
We may have to do some settings for the sound from TV. Open the sound settings.
There we can find the list of audio devices.
We have to select the 'HDMI / DisplayPort 2' audio device.
In my case, I found the sound setting as follows.
The 'HDMI / DisplayPort 2' audio device is not listed. I muted the laptop speakers and restarted the laptop. Then I got the list including 'HDMI / DisplayPort 2' audio device.
