So my computer knows my tv is connected to it, but it won't display anything on the tv. - BTW...my tv is now shown as screen 1 when I press the "Identy" button and my normal monitor is now screen 2. - If I select "Extend Desktop To This Display" it switches to my monitor being "screen 2"...with the Start button and everything off screen (supposedly it's on my tv which displays nothing) and it'll eventually reset itself since the "revert" prompt is off screen and I can't see it to press the button. - I mentioned that there's a third monitor, but when I select it and press the "Detect" button it shows only my monitor and indicates that my monitor is now both screen 1 and 2, while screen 3 doesn't seem to do anything and still nothing displays on the tv....all it does is say "ensure external device is turned on, select input, etc, etc". FYI, I thought HDMI was hotswappable but just to be safe I shut my computer down before connecting the cables. Any ideas on why my new tv hates my setup?

Did you select the right source on your TV? It might be expecting a signal from one of the other inputs. Also try plugging the cable into different HDMI ports, some TVs are stupid and need the computer to be plugged into a specific one. _________________ GtkRadiant | Q3Map2 | Shader Manual

You're only trying to connect two monitors, correct? the 560 can only two Two monitors... and the HDMI and one of the DVI's are tied. What happends if you only connect the TV Via HDMI?
