50’ HDMI cable. That must’ve cost an arm and a foot...

try going under the control panel then to the displays and configure a secondary display as the TV.

Hope that helps

I find having someone else to the same thing I did just works for me. These devices know how to make people look stupid. I had the input to my TV set wrong last time I had a similar problem. I thought I set it but some how it changed,

Did your TV and video cards come with manuals?

Do a query on:

nvidia hdmi “no display” bravia

Since it works on another tv I would say driver or something not quite right with the Bravia input.

Anyhow, lots of hits with that query so maybe you’ll see something that fits right away.

I don't know if this will help, but give it a try. I'm actually dreading doing the same thing with my older Sony KDS TV. I'm sure it's going to stump me; I couldn't even figure out how to hook the stupid thing up to my receiver, DVR and DVD player so trying to hook up to a PC is going to be a bear.

I’ve got the 55” KDLhx800, and although I haven’t attached mine to my PC as of yet, I do have it hooked up to the internet. I would try a firmware update on your TV first if you already haven’t.

With my laptop-to-LCD TV, I have to reset the laptop's desktop properties.

Right click on the laptop screen >> properties >> and select the appropriate:

Photobucket

The above are on my ACER laptop. The selections on your pc may have different wording.

Then, I select RGB on the TV as the input.

Read the comments @ the Amazon link, could be your problem noted there, just setting from 1080p to 1080i might help if you cable is not high quality.

When you connect the pc to the Sony, set the resolution to 480i, then set it to 1080i.

Then check to see if this win& update is installed:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/975538

if neither works...

Probably the video card, your card (the 260, 460, and 470) is well known to have a bitstreaming support glitch.

From what I understand, You can buy PowerDVD10 and it runs bitstreaming through the software company’s own bitstreaming drivers. Don’t take my word on this, you need to do your own research.

GO check the NVIDIA forums for your video card, it’s posted as a common problem, I haven’t dealt with this first hand, just heard about it when choosing my last video card.

Go to your tv’s setup program and set it up so that it recognizes that the pc is connected to it.just as you would to setup an external video system.
