    Ok, my issue is this: I have a DVI out port on my laptop. I used to use it all the time on my HDTV; it has a DVI in port. So I was using DVI to DVI, and it was working perfectly fine - playing Doom 3 on it was electric. Also, it was ideal for watching movies or streaming internet.

    Now, it just does not work. I am using the nVidia control panel to switch the display over, and it was working fine before, now it just doesn't. I haven't changed drivers or anything like that, it just stopped working.

    I have no clue as to why it's stopped. Perhaps the refresh rate was changed to something the TV couldn't handle?


    Thanks for any help!

    Well, what is the problem?
    Does it even recognize the TV? And the other way around, does the TV see that it's connected?
