HDMI Input: No Input Signal -- Monitor Going to Sleep

I am using a DVI connection for the Envision monitor; it does not have HDMI. Our SONY TV works off the HDMI connection without going to sleep, though.

Mate sorry late reply had to go to bed - trouble with us old folk

Ok so I have got it completely right the EN works DVI only and the HDMI is used for either the TV or the HP but for some reason the HDMI is not functioning when the HP is used .

So this really points to a driver for the HP but if you have done all that then it has to be something else blocking that signal to the HP. Does the HP have a DVI connection? I would be very surprised if it hasn't lets try the HP hooked up via the DVI with nothing else hooked up just the HP if this doesn't work then it means the HP is being blocked out by something in the machine because both of the other devices are being fed ok.

Anyway try the DVI connection first if that works ok.

Worth a try aspen and it is always a good spare for emergencies anyway.

What annoys me is that the HDMI plug / socket system is not made really well - by that I mean a bit on the flimsy side at least the old AVG and the DVI stuff have some decent hardware for the fixings.

HDMI to VGA (not DVI) adapter worked (brand name Accell, if anyone else was wondering). Thanks for all your help and patience, ICit2lol!

Am real pleased it worked mate the quality is not so good but hey you would have to look real hard to notice in all honesty.

So I ma guessing that the HDMI socket is defunct though I am a little surprised that there was no DVI socket but it works thats the main thing. Id it is really important then maybe when the funds are up a new device eh?:)
