TV won't detect PC via HDMI

[ngohma]

Hello there! This is getting quite old. I've seen tons of threads like this, but I still haven't managed to find a solution.

The PC hasn't been used for a couple of months now, but this was never an issue before. Now I've bought a new TV and I guess that's the problem. It's a Philips 4500 series and I'm using a GTX 660 graphics card for the PC.

I've seen a lot of people fix this by setting up multiple displays in the control panel, but my TV doesn't show up there at all. I tried Windows + P without success and I even performed a system restoration to before the problem occurred. I have two high quality cables (both working perfectly with game consoles) but all I get when I try the same with the TV is "no signal". It works with VGA on my old Samsung bedroom TV though.

Hats off to anyone who could help me with this, I tried for many hours before coming here.

Thanks! Any idea what's best for my card - Dvi-I or Dvi-D?

depends on what port is on the card ?? if its dvi-I go with that or dvi-d -- dvi-I supports a analog signal

be sure as well your hdtv supports pc resolutions and some times it may need you to use a certain hdmi port for pc [will all be stated in its manual]

some hdtv's are better at pc use then others
