I'm trying to play movies on my TV by connecting it to my PC. It works, I can see my PC playing on my TV, except when I use VLC, it just shows a blank screen, like when you try to take a screenshot and when you paste it it is just a black screen.
How can I fix that? Do I need a plugin or something for VLC? Thanks.

There is definitely problem with software what you using,since you have picture on both source TV and monitor.
I am not huge fan of VLC but seems there is overlay problem in settings.
try this
-> Go to Tools->Preferences->Video
-> Remove the tick for "Accelerated video output (Overlay)"
-> Try and play the movie again, you should now see output.
if that still doesn't make success my suggestion is to install BS player or some similar software they are more friendly to now days media files ;)

Did it come with SSD or Windows? That's imo very much.

MPC ftw

Price was fair for model what has 17.3 inch display 8 cell battery etc.. it is gamer machine what comes with high end components such as video card or processor plus genuine Windows installed,same as Alienware but slightly lower price than Dell's model

also, did you plug it in your video card or motherboard? try the opposite.

It's in the GPU. The output works fine, just not with VLC.
