    Hi there,

    May be a dumb wuestion and my search-fu is horrible. I wanted to use my HDTV as my monitor using HDMI out, but the TV isnt recognizing it...Do I need to enable something or other?

    Thanks for your help.

    btw....M17xR3

    You should be able to just plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI out of the R3 and then change the input of your HDTV to the HDMI in where you connected the R3. From the graphics driver of your R3, you can either extend the desktop or mirror the desktop.
