Technical Jellies: Can you help me get my laptop to output to digital tv? Frustrated!

Trying to show .avi files from my laptop on my television. I usually use VLC media player.

I have a Dell inspiron with hdmi connection running Vista (I know, spare me “Vista sucks”, I’m aware). The tv is an Olevia 232 with hdmi port also.

I have plugged in the cable, restarted laptop, right clicked desktop and selected “output to digital television”. The laptop desktop will flash for a moment on the tv and then the message “invalid input”.

What am I missing?
