Extended monitor on TV gives deformed image Hi there,
I found a small 16 inch LCD tv laying around, which I want to use as an extended display.
My graphics card (GTX 285 Black Edition) as 2 DVI-I outputs, one already in use for my 24" Dell screen, so I bought a DVI to HDMI cable.
Now, my screen extends with it, but not on the way it should.
2/3 of the screen in height is displaying great, but the bottom section does not.
the left side (about 2/3 of the width of the screen) displays the right side, with a kind of green triangle over it, and the right side displays the left.
I included a picture, so you can see what I mean. | My System Specs |

If you found the monitor "laying around", is it entirely possible that it had been thrown out for that exact reason? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit CPU AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black OC'ed 4.0GHz Motherboard Asus M5A88-V EVO Memory 8GB Mushkin Enhanced Silverline (2x4GB) 1333 Graphics Card XFX Radeon HD6870 1024MB GDDR5 OC'ed 945MHz; 1151MHz Sound Card Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme PCIe Monitor(s) Displays 32" Hannspree SE32LMNB Screen Resolution 1920 x 1080 Keyboard Logitech G510 Mouse CM Storm Sentinel Advance Zero-G PSU 650W XFX XXX Edition 80PLUS Bronze Modular Case Cougar 6GR1 Evolution Cooling Corsair H60 p/p 120mm; Zalman VF3000A; x4 120mm; x1 140mm Hard Drives 250GB Hitachi Deskstar (OS); 2TB Western Digital Elements Internet Speed Not fast enough :I Other Info No matter what your specs, my PC is better. |

First thing to try, hook up the TV to your stand alone dvd player or game console, see if the problem still presents.
This looks more like a TV problem than a GPU problem. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Made OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Intel 2500k @4.5ghz 66deg max P95/IBT Motherboard Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3 Memory 8 Gigs Patriot Viper 2 Extreme @1600 Graphics Card EVGA GTX 580 3 GIG 35degrees idle Sound Card Nvidia HD audio via HDMI to 7.1 Receiver Monitor(s) Displays 32" Olevia hdtv Screen Resolution 1080p Keyboard Logitech wireless Combo, G13 Mouse G300 PSU Corsair vx550w Case Thermaltake V3 black Cooling CM 212+(push n pull) 4 case fans Hard Drives 64gig SSD(OS/Apps)

Nope, I can perfectly watch television with this via cable, I tried it. If I put it on another source the problem disappears.
Edit:
Also, viewing DVD via scart works perfectly. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz (4CPUs), ~2.4GHz Memory 8192MB RAM Graphics Card XFX NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 1GB DDR3 Black Edition Sound Card SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell 24,5" Screen Resolution 1920x1200 Keyboard DeLux Gaming & Multimedia Keyboard Mouse Logitech MX518 Gaming Mouse PSU OCZ GameXStream 700W Case OpenA Gaming case cooled with extra front & side fan Hard Drives Western Digital 500GB Internal

What is the make and model of the TV?
What resolution and refresh rate are you running at?
Is the Res and Ref rate defaulting to the lower of your two displays(being the TV)?
What Driver are you running? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Made OS Windows 7 Home Premium x64 CPU Intel 2500k @4.5ghz 66deg max P95/IBT Motherboard Gigabyte Z68A-D3-B3 Memory 8 Gigs Patriot Viper 2 Extreme @1600 Graphics Card EVGA GTX 580 3 GIG 35degrees idle Sound Card Nvidia HD audio via HDMI to 7.1 Receiver Monitor(s) Displays 32" Olevia hdtv Screen Resolution 1080p Keyboard Logitech wireless Combo, G13 Mouse G300 PSU Corsair vx550w Case Thermaltake V3 black Cooling CM 212+(push n pull) 4 case fans Hard Drives 64gig SSD(OS/Apps)

It's a VD-tech TQS-E1910, which I can't find any info on.
But my PC recognises it as a Targa LCDTV16.
The resolution is 1360*768 and the refresh rate is 60Hz, both native.
I'm not sure what you mean by what driver I'm running, do you mean my GPU driver? In that case, the latest. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit CPU Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Quad CPU @ 2.40GHz (4CPUs), ~2.4GHz Memory 8192MB RAM Graphics Card XFX NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 1GB DDR3 Black Edition Sound Card SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell 24,5" Screen Resolution 1920x1200 Keyboard DeLux Gaming & Multimedia Keyboard Mouse Logitech MX518 Gaming Mouse PSU OCZ GameXStream 700W Case OpenA Gaming case cooled with extra front & side fan Hard Drives Western Digital 500GB Internal

I don't have another HDMI source, so I can't really test that. I'll try to get one from someone else though.
