Depending on what kind of videocard is in this.

When I playback a HD Divx file, they show on my laptop screen but on the cloned screen on my TV, I just get a black "screen" where you would see it. The rest of the desktop displays fine.

My TV is not High Def. So I assume this is why the High Def part is not shown.

I am looking for a way to watch these files on my TV instead of the laptops screen.

I assume that I will need a player to "down grade" the image.

This would be cheaper than buying a new TV.

Jeff.

I work with dual screens, one a LCD TV that supports resolution up to 1080i and the other a LCD Monitor.

I steer clear of using clone display, switch between whether I want output on big screen or 22 inch monitor.

In answer to your ? – yes, if you mean by HD 1280 x 720 resolution or greater nothing will display on your TV if it doesn’t support those resolutions.

To me to downscale to SD seems a lot of messing around and you miss out on a truly better image quality.

Not sure about software players that can downscale on the fly to a standard definition as haven’t needed to do that. Though on BS Player have option that allows me select resolution which may do the trick.

Re-encoding video to a lower (standard definition) resolution is another option, though quite a bit of messing around.
