Just changed it to 1360x768 and it hasn't changed colour yet, I guess problem is running on high resolution with HDMI cable.

Probably with good reason. Just had a look at the spec sheet for that TV,

http://www.docs.sony.com/reflib/docget.asp?manualid=1078273&template_id=1&region_id=1&DL=',600,560,10,10,'Manuals

and it is only a 1366x768 resolution TV,

From looking at the user manual,

http://www.docs.sony.com/reflib/docget.asp?manualid=1074365&template_id=1&region_id=1&DL=',600,560,10,10,'Manuals

it has this with regards to connecting to a computer,

No idea how Sony has managed 1080p on a 1366x768 resolution screen, but feeding 1920x1080 from the computer isn't going to work.

***update***

I guess colour problem was due to Audio/Video going through HDMI at same time. Since last night I'm using headphones for audio and only using video signal through HDMI and so far so good. no colour problem at all

I just received another HD5770. My question is, if I put both cards in crossfire mode, will I be able to run my system in 1920x1080 resolution via HDMI cable without any problem?

Thanks

I've tried 3 HDMI cables now but my screen is still losing colour. I've checked cables with PS3 and Sky HD box and they work fine so I guess its something to do with my computer not TV. I got two 5770 (crossfireX) cards, and they work fine with DVI cable and maximum I can go is 1360x768 but when I try with HDMI cable and change resolution to 720p or 1080p or even 1360x768, it loses colour.

So what can be the reason for this? Need help

*** I hope its not HDMI connectors on both cards which are faulty ***

Update

I just bought HDMI 1.3 cable, but still having the same problem. Screen goes green, when I'm using HDMI cable for display and I'm sure my Sony TV supports 1080p/720p

here are the screenshots

gone back to dvi cable and its all ok

Just bought an XFX 6870 on Sunday and was tickled to finally be able to run HDMI out from the card to the HDMI input on my Hannspree 25" monitor.

It looked like crap. Fuzzy, blurry, blah.

Went back to the DVI cable and it was better than ever. After scouring the net for answers the consensus seems to be that the only improvement an HDMI cable gives you over DVI is that it also carries the audio signal.

By no means would I consider this the last word on the subject, but for now I'm sticking with the DVI cable.
