Gaming via HDMI?

I don't really know if this is possible, but my Vaio has an HDMI output, and of course has the little "Full HD 1080" sticker on it. Well, for the first time I plugged it into my 47" LG 1080LCD. Nothing. When you chose "auto input", it doesn't even give you the HDMI option. But if you manually go to the HDMI input, it just says "no signal". The computer reads it just fine as "LG TV", but the TV won't show anything. If I can't game on it, I at least want to see how it looks. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

you need to tell windows to do multiple moniters, or switch moniters..... what os do u have? if vista, right click the desktop, then go to display, and youi can take it from there

 

Already did. It's under Nvidia Control Panel. I said it already shows up on the computer, but the TV doesn't show a signal.

 

do it in windows, not nvidia control panel... else, try diffrent resolutions

 

Did you enable the display option from the drop-down?

Also switch to display output as TV not monitor in setting, which should give you tuning features, because it can act as either.

Force TV detection was removed from Vista right (haven't bothered on the few nV's I run), but I would suggest starting up with the TV off, and then turning it on after you've booted into windows, that can sometimes kick the detection in and auto-config.

TVs are such a pain with drivers. It's one of the reasons I've stuck with one company for my own, but both have niggling issues.

 

All I do is turn on the TV, plug HDMI in, then it pops up. Then I use windows display to get it the way I want.
