    Viewsonic LCD monitor not recognizing HDMI input signal.


    hi all - ive got a problem with my new viewsonic vx2753mh-led monitor. its got 2x hdmi inputs and one vga.

    the vga works straight off the bat, but whenever I try and plug the hdmi in it just says no input signal detected and goes black

    I noticed in device manager that this was installed as 'generic non-pnp monitor' so after jumping through some hoops i managed to install the driver as 'viewsonic vx2753 SERIES'
    Anyway this doesnt seem to have made a difference. still no input through the hdmi.

    I have tested to cord on my samsung tv and it worked fine so it can't be a problem with the cord or the graphics card....

    just some general info that might be of use:
    windows 7 x64
    dual monitor setup

    the graphics is integrated on the intel i5 chip
    my display adapters in device manager says Intel(R) HD Graphics Family.
    it has a dvi out, hdmi out, and vga out.

    thanks for any help you can give!

    I have a Viewsonic which I'm also trying to run a media PC to connected via an HDMI cable, and I have noticed the exact same thing.

    It was working fine for awhile, but recently I have been receiving an error on screen saying the "HDMI to DVI cable as experienced an error" or something to that effect. Note: I am using strictly an HDMI cable, not an HDMI to DVI as the message states (can't explain why I'm getting that message). I did the same thing you did, tested the machine using the same cable on another tv, and it worked fine on the other tv. What's strange is I can connect the cable box to the tv using the identical HDMI cable and it worked fine. Tried again using the same cable from the PC to the tv, and either 1) blank screen, or 2) shrunken screen with the aforementioned error which will go blank once I open Media Center.

    Sorry, I don't have an answer, but it seems to me Viewsonic hasn't made a good product in terms of connecting media PC's, for some reason. Of course, my tv is out of warranty at this point. If you find an answer, keep me posted, I'll do the same.

    I have a Viewsonic VT2430 monitor/tv, and a Windows Vista 64, with ATI 4200 graphics chip PC.

    Try updating the mobo's HDMI driver from that vendors website. It may be included with the chipset driver.

    Fill in your system specs and we can give you a more detailed answer and links for downloads.
