So I have an Olevia 37" HDTV w/HDMI plug and I have this video card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130082 with dual DVI connections. Every time I connect the TV using an HDMI/DVI cable I get nothing but a blue screen. I run the setup wizard using the Nvidia control panel and I still get nothing. It picks up the firmware numbers for the TV under the multiple display setup option, so it is sort of recognizing it, but i played w/ the resolution, changed the primary display back and forth, did a few different things and I still get nothing but a blue screen. I even tried using the S-Video cable and still got nothing. Anyone have a clue as to what I am doing wrong? Am I missing something simple?

Not sure what the problem is, but I know on my set up using an Olevia 32" HDTV and a DVI -> HDMI cable, I had to initially set the TVs resolution to 1280x720 before I could up it to 1366X768. Also, I could not get an image when using an DVI->HDMI converter and a HDMI cable. I had to use a DVI -> HDMI cable (one piece).

Just tossing out my experience. My setup is using an ATI HD2600Pro connected to an Olevia 232T HDTV.

man this sucks. I really don't know what else to do. This should be a very simple task. I am using a 1 piece cable, no converter. I can't find an option on my TV to change resolution, unless you are talking about doing it on the pc. In that case I have tried that already. :/ Thanks, anyway
