I've been trying to get a HDMI connection from my laptop to my TV. I realise there are a LOT of posts similar to this but none I've found have worked for me.
System specs are; Intel® Core™ i7-8750H CPU, GeForce GTX 1060, Ubuntu 18.04.

I have installed the latest Nvidia Driver(410), tried with the original driver(390) I installed and tried with Nouveau.

The output of xrandr is :

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767

eDP-1-1 connected primary 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 382mm x 214mm

Then a long list of resolutions, no HDMI or VGA mentioned. I have tried this with the HDMI cable connected and disconnected.
I then found a question which pointed me here; https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HDMI

The output of get-edid | parse-edid looks more promising;

    This is read-edid version 3.0.2. Prepare for some fun.

Attempting to use i2c interface

No EDID on bus 0

No EDID on bus 1

No EDID on bus 2

No EDID on bus 3

No EDID on bus 4

No EDID on bus 5

No EDID on bus 6

No EDID on bus 8

No EDID on bus 9

2 potential busses found: 7 10

Will scan through until the first EDID is found.

Pass a bus number as an option to this program to go only for that one.

256-byte EDID successfully retrieved from i2c bus 7

Looks like i2c was successful. Have a good day.

Checksum Correct

The only problem is I have absolutely no idea what to do with this information. I could not find a xorg.conf file in any of the locations mentioned under # man xorg.conf so I opened Nvidia X Server and created one. My problem now is how should I edit this with the information I obtained from get-edid | parse-edid. Is this even worth trying or am I on the wrong route?? The contents of my xorg.conf is below. Thank you for taking the time to read this/help.
