Hi armagedwnn,

Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux Mint and its excellent forum!

Setting primary monitor in XFCE? - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... or-in-xfce

Your laptop may also have a keyboard switch for HDMI output, or you can go into Display Settings.


Hope this helps ...

I have this button but the only option is my laptop.
In tv the hdmi is as unknown device and i haven't display.
I have linux mint 19 xfce.

Hi armagedwnn,

On the TV you may have to switch its input to the HDMI input that the computer is connected to...
