hi
well, ill be blown lol, i dont know what i did but i plugged the monitor on HDMI and the TV on vga then rebooted and the monitor shows the HDMI near perfect!! I have some green speckles across the screen and its a little duller but its sooo much better then before.
Im going to buy a new HDMI cable tommorow and see if that makes any difference.
regards

What video card are you using? Some drivers have an option to use an alternate digital timing that will fix those speckles. How about some rep for me?

im using a nvidia gforce 9500gt

and rep is most definatly coming your way

Thanks!

Have you tried changing resolution to fix the speckles? Just use the screen resolution control panel in 7 to try different refresh rates. You'll need to click the Advanced settings link and choose the Monitor tab. Try 60 vs 50 Hz if that's available.

Btw, if you havn't bought the cable yet don't blow a crapload on an expensive HDMI cable, the cheap ones are all the same.

i have a gtx295 nvidia gc and a HDMI monitor .. when i plug in my monitor using a HDMI-HDMI cabel it reads no signal

sry if i missed the solution ..i did read every thing but found nothing of help so far

not sure this will help but anyway
ive always used hdtv as moniter using hdmi i had no probs when using 19" tv but when i bought a new 32" one i had the same problem..

what i did was when pc booted up press f8 then click enable low resoloution and then put it to the correct res then everything works fine

hope this helps

I few things he said are making me think he's got another monitor -- one in addition to the HDMI-connected TV -- connected at the same time. Perhaps he just needs to extend the desktop?

I see this is an old post but maybe I can still get some answers for my setup.
My Graphics card has a DVI out put which I have connected to the HDMI input on the LCD TV. The only picture I can get is the background picture of the computer (It is in HDensity and looks great but cannot get anything else. When I switch to HDMI on the TV the monitor goes out for a few seconds and then starts up again.
My card is an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro.
Thought it would be easy as well but sadly not so.
Any help? by the way this is in W7. I have dual boot system and in XP I do get a picture on the TV which is "Terrible" and the Monitor switches itself off, so that's no good.
