I am trying to use the ATI Radeon DVI to HDMI Adaptor to conect the PC to my new TV but nothing comes up. I have inserted the HDMI cable into slot HDMI3 on the TV and done what the manual told me to do and changed the TV to HDMI 3 on the tv but that doesnt work.

Should i need anything else to make the TV work with my PC.

Thanks for any info and hope you understand.

you say your PC isnt HDMI, but it is NOW you have put an HDMI (or DVI) GFX card in there

why ?, its just two displays so you only need 1 monitor and other display, in this case the HD 32 inch Monitor/TV set as primary and secondary.

When i try to chane it to 1920X1080 it goes to the blue screen and nothing comes on. But at least ive got some where. At the moment im using the new tv to write this.

Thanks

the "blue screen" as in the "Blue Screen of death", or just a "blue screen" as in, your second screen is set in "dual mode" without any background pic set and it's using the generic blue background windows colourset,so its just waiting for you to drag something from your primary monitor screen to the HD secondary screen ?

thats all you need do BTW,start an app and drag it to the second HD screen to have it display there.

you can also set the HD as your primary display and you will then get all your monitor stuff on there first as you boot up etc.

its a shame but Windows doesnt allow more than one single display device as a directX display ,AND it Most be set as the Primary display to use it for full screen DirectX gaming and video playback type apps, you can run anything in windowed mode OC but no DirectX use in these windowed screens.

I'm using an XFX GeForce 8800GTX.

iv not got around to trying it yet as i need to get a DVI to HDMI cable for the ATI power color HD3650/1gig, but do you get the new screen sizes come up after its auto configured the new HD display device?

and what sizes are then made available as the generic GFX card list/spec?, can you see only 1024/768, and 1920X1080 for instance! for that new HDTV display device ?
