K just got a Twin frozr HD 7950. For my main monitor hook-up I have DVI to Vga which works good and all but For my Tv next to it which I use for movies, I run Hdmi. The problem is I can't get the display to send to my TV. I've tried:

* Updating drivers to newest version
* Tried multiple cables all of which work with my PS3 just fine.
* Hooking up to a separate TV which displayed for a little but was red with glitchy Lines threw out the image and lost signal before desktop
* Different resolutions and Hz rates before sending signal over to TV.

Computer even recognizes the tv in Catalyst Control center and shows model number. With my old card (shappire HD 6850) I replaced I had no problem running Hdmi to my tv. I'm guessing It's a bad port on the card at this point. It has two mini-display ports I could try a adapter to Hdmi and see if those work better. Any help thanks?

The tv doesn't have a Dvi port. It's just a few games I play with my controller on the bigger screen then for fps games mouse and keyboard. What i'm really trying to say is i'm a lazy no good who doesnt feel like switching display cables between the two. Loads easier switching over with the mouse .

I checked the Tv menu it's a older Vizio and it's on the correct input. It has two The second i'm using for Ps3 which works good.

Yeah I tried that on the second newer tv in the main room and the image was glitchy then went black. I Don't mind using a mini-display adapter if it may work its just for movies. I think its the hdmi port that's the issue
