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?

I'm sorry I meant the Device Manager. Because there's only 1 there.

I tried "Generic television" and "VGA 640*480", nothing new. By the way should I have 1 or 2 items in the "Monitors" selection in the system manager?

In the display properties to Advanced->Monitor->Properties->Driver->Driver Details I get: "No driver files are required or have been loaded for this device" Do I try installing something else?:confused:

I tried forcing it, the Asus monitor goes black for few seconds, and then it's on again but the "extend my Windows desktop.." check box is not selected, as if it failed to.

I just tried with windows 7, and the same thing happens. Actually in windows xp, when I plug the HDTV, the monitor's screen (The 22" Asus) flickers a bit (which means at least it detected something, while in Win7 it does not). P. Smith, how can I force the video card driver to send out the...

The TV is not being detected in windows, as if it's not connected (Although it was able to display from boot to log in screen) I tried to use "Force detect" but it's not helping much :(

No I did not yet. Will try it when I go home tonight.

PC to HDTV: DVI ->DVI/HDMI adapter->HDMI (Because the TV doesn't have DVI inputs) PC to LCD monitor: DVI ->DVI Edit: Thanks for the welcome :)

OK I'm a bit lost now :confused: Do I need VNC if I have a second monitor? And what about this "DDC/CI" thing that is supported on my LCD monitor but not the TV? Thanks again, I've been trying to fix this thing for a week now.
