Hello Plumbershands, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Your notebook may be different than on a Gateway notebook, but after you connect the notebook to the TV, see if pressing the Function + F4 keys will switch the display over to the TV. Sometimes you will need to press it twice, once to share and twice to use only the TV. Pressing a 3rd time returns to the notebook screen. Double check with your notebook's manual on connecting to a TV to see what keys you may need to press instead.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
