I got a cheap HP T620 to use for TV Streaming, installed Win7 and bought a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable
to hook it up to a Philips 37pfl7403d.

With my HP monitor it works flawlessly, but on the TV I get no Signal.

Does this mean I need an active adapter?
Why does it work on the monitor then?

Thanks in advance.

Then you may need to purchase an "Active" DP to HDMI adapter cable if your existing adapter cable is the cheaper passive type. Active ones are more expensive as they have an integrated signal converter (DP uses a different signalling system to HDMI and an active adapter makes the required conversion which a passive adapter cannot do).
