Why are you using an HDMI to VGA cable? That is not possible. HDMI is digital. VGA is analog. you CANNOT have a cable with one VGA end and one HDMI end and expect it to work.

And r9 290x cards don't even have VGA out puts on them...

Your card has digital outputs. Use those. Extend your desktop onto the TV

You need an HDMI cable and a DVI-to-HDMI cable or adapter. Plug one HDMI and one DVI to the graphics card, and use the other two HDMI ends to connect to the monitor and TV.
This is the only way you can connect them, unless you use a DVI/HDMI to D-Sub cable to connect the monitor.

(I'm assuming you're using a TV with an HDMI port)
