Yes, I just got an HDMI to DVI cable in hopes of setting up my 42" TV to my computer. I am running two ATI 4850's in crossfire with the latest drivers installed. The TV is an LCD 1080p LG.

Currently with both my monitor and the TV plugged in everytime I view full screen images both screens go blank and when they come back on the computer is unresponsive. The one time it did work, I tried loading up world of warcraft and while it displayed on my monitor the TV just went black.

Is there anything I can do? Do i just have the resolution set to high for the TV to handle? Can anyone give me some directions to setting it up correctly?

Is your video card detecting the TV correctly, or does it say "Generic Plug N Play monitor" or such?

Make sure the display you want the gaming to occur on is the primary monitor, I think it will only output to 1 monitor in 3d mode.

Also check to make sure the refresh rate is correct.
