Oroblems watching film on TV from Laptop
I have just got a new laptop (Win 7) with an HDMI socket. I can get windows media player to play a film and I can see it on the TV screen. How can I stop it appearing on the laptop screen? If I shut the laptop lid the laptop powers off and its really annoying having the laptop screen flickering away while watching the TV.

Any help would be appreciated.

Might check the manufacturers website for a user manual.
Usually there is a key combination that can turn off the screen.
Something like Fn and a key that has a little monitor icon on it.
