Anyone..? Audio & DVI.. Any idea?

I'm not sure. I didn't know "24->60 [3:2]->120 [2x]" existed, I thought all 120Hz do the 5:5 thing. I'll check the manual No, my 4850 didn't come with a component cable. I did add all the supported resolution in the catalyst, but they didn't work.. The TV is not even detected in the catalyst...

It's this one: 42PFL5704/F7 Philips - 5000 series LCD TV 42" class Full HD 1080p digital TV - 42PFL5704D/F7 - 5000 series - Televisions - Sound and vision

I searched all the menus and infos, nothing imporant that wasn't there before. It's only saying that it's 1080i in the PS3 menu. (Nothing about refresh rate or anything else..)

OK guys, I got a PS3 and it works perfectly. To recapitulate: PC (ATI 4850) doesn't work with 42" Philips (TV loses signal just before the windows log in screen), but it works with a 32" Sharp TV. 42" Philips TV is not broken, it works when hooked to a PS3.

I'm going to borrow my friend's PS3 on Monday, will let you know what I find.

Hehehe. So the cable is fine, the output from the PC is fine (Because the sharp TV worked) So we're sure now that the Philipis TV is broken or something?

And that is bad? good?

Can it still be a cable/dongle problem although the SHARP TV was fine? I'm not sure I understood what you said here. So a DVI can carry digital and analog. But since the SHARP is fine, it means the digital signal on that dongle is fine right? There are no "4 pins" in the DVI->HDMI dongle. It's...

Update: I got another TV (Sharp 32" 720p), set the resolution to 1280x720/60Hz on my PC, and connected it to the TV using a DVI->HDMI cable and it worked like a charm. So the problem now is the 42" Philips.. Edit: sofMCCS also says that DDC/CI is not supported for the SHARP TV, so that's not...

How can I check that?

No luck. I see now why console gamers hate PCs. They just don t want to deal with all this :o

None of the above worked. I'll try to get another monitor and see dual monitors works. By the way I I drivers, and I was able to get to Windows without losing the signal on the TV, but the resolution is really bad (because there are no drivers installed). I don't know if this means anything.

Thank you so much for your guided help. I'll try it as soon as I get home today.

Hmm, I never saw 2 of those, so apparently when I switched to "Generic television" and "vga 640*480", I was changing the driver of the Asus monitor. If nothing appears when I plug the TV, then I should manually add a new monitor from the "Add Hardware" in the control panel right?
