Your problem may be easy to solve: Try another HDMI cable. It's worked for me more than once.

Don't understand...
In what reletaion is HDMI cable and screen of my laptop?

**Milos_Milutinovic** · January 24th, 2019

Any solution for my issue?

Did you install the proprietary AMD graphics driver?

**Milos_Milutinovic** · January 28th, 2019

No... Ubuntu did it automatically during instillation process... Don't know how to do that, help?

Oops. I was referring to a desktop. The proprietary AMD drivers aren't liked too well by a lot of people. The radeon open-source driver, developed with a lot of help from AMD/ATI, is considered to be superior.
