Except we aren't. What I've got on the big screen is supposed to be a mirror of what's on my laptop. Up until I did this update, it always has been, but now it's got the screen saver image. How is that even possible? Eventually I realize that the laptop is sending that image over the wire, so something in the update to the software in the TV must have triggered a bit in the laptop that tells it to send this image instead of mirroring the internal screen. Criminently. I supposed there might be some reason for this, but it's not helping me, it's just making me think LG is stupid.
I enlist dutiful daughter to help me sort it out. She points and clicks and eventually finds a check box in 'settings' that is marked 'mirror internal screen' and it isn't checked. It takes several attempts to set it and plugging and upplugging the HDMI cable to get things synced back up, but eventually we are back where I started before I started this stupid update procedure.
Fie on you, LG.
