Yesterday I closed the laptop's monitor without shutting it down. When I opened it the screen went black. I tried to move the cursor to see the display but it stayed black. I just pressed the power button and tried to open up the laptop again but the screen was still black, but I can hear the laptop running in the background and the sound when you adjust the volume but the screen is just black.

I tried to remove the battery then holding the power button but it was no use. I tried to connect to our TV using hdmi and I can see the windows 8 properly in the tv screen. The only problem is the laptop's screen it's just black. I don't know what else to do please help me.
 
as your tv works with the laptop then it appears the laptop screen died. what is the make & model# of the laptop?
 
Solution
I would go with the matte finish. http://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/HP-Compaq/PAVILION~G6/
I use that site to get screens for my customers' laptops & ipads.
