Ok, WTF is the deal here.

I've got my DVI-HDMI cord going to my new 42" Toshiba LCD. It says no signal, and when I go to my monitor configurations I can't even detect the LCD.

What am I doing wrong? Do I have to install drivers for the monitor or something?

Probably a resolution issue. What is the native res of the TV and what are you sending it?

Whatever the answer, try 1280*720 and go from there.

It's not a resolution problem. When I'm connected via the VGA and the resolution isn't right it says something about improper resolution. This just says there is no signal (when I'm on the HDMI input).

And my computer won't even detect the thing over the DVI connection. ATI Catalyst Control says there's nothing connected to my secondary output.

Is it likely that it's a bum cable?

Display was on well before the computer was. I've even rebooted the computer since connecting. :smith:

Thus far I'm just chalking it up to a bum cable. I'm gonna try and order one before Newegg stops its Friday shipments but I may just be too late.

I fixed it. Good lord these ATI drivers are such a clusterfuck, nobody knows what's going on with this poo poo from ATI to tech help forums. The advice I ended up getting that worked was basically just to gently caress around with settings until something worked.



As you can see, having that checked (which is the default) is supposed to "help" if you have your display set to a higher resolution. In reality this crippled my card's ability to output a 1920x1080x60 signal.
