Issues projecting Wii U or Laptop via HDMI to JVC Pd-42v485 TV - Simply too old?

[terusama]

Hi everyone,

My roommate and I recently got a TV off craigslist, the model is JVC Pd-42v485. This TV has an HDMI port that I can conect to the HDMI port on my laptop (which is a Lenovo P500, if it matters), but I can't seem to get my laptop to project to the TV screen (using the "project to second screen" function in the control panel) I also attempted connecting my Wii U to the TV with this port to no avail. I have successfully used this laptop to project onto other, newer TVs.

That TV supports XGA (1024x768) 60hz.
You will need to set the HDMI out of the laptop to that resolution to see a picture.
Here's a link to the TV manual
