I guess that title can't get any more obvious
Hi Everyone
This is my first post around here so bear with me a little:
I have a sony bravia 32" HDTV, the V series, and here's a link to this tv set: http://www.sonystyle.com.hk/ss/product/tv/klv_32v200a_e.jsp
The video card I use is a XFX 8600 GT video card with Dual-DVI-I connections. Take a look at it here: http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listConfigurationDetails.jspa?series=GeForce%26trade%3B+8600&productConfigurationId=1062920
in addition I have a viewsonic VX2025wm 20.1" LCD monitor, take a look at it here: http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/xseries/vx2025wm/
and to connect the HDTV to my video card I bought this cable: http://www.amazon.com/Premium-DVI-I-Component-Video-Cable/dp/B000FZXKLQ/ref=sr_1_2/104-5296207-8730305?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1182169453&sr=8-2
Which is a DVI-I-to-Component cable.
My video card is installed on a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 (ver 3.3) motherboard. In addition, I have windows xp professional as my main operating system.
The problem I get is I can't get my HDTV to run. I mean whether I connected the HDTV to my video card along with my monitor or I connected it alone, I forgot to mention that my vieowsonic monitor is connected to my video card through a DVI-I link, I don't get any picture on my HDTV no matter how hard I try. Just nothing. The screen remains black.
The HDTV set I got has the following connections on its back:
One HDMI port which is already used by my PS3
two Component (RGB) ports which could be used by a HDDVD and support hd resolutions up to 720p and 1080i
Two S-vido ports, and three composite (Red, Yellow and White).
Now, from what you've read above, is there something that I've done wrong. I mean did I get the wrong cable? should I have gotten a DVI-to-Component adapted instead? Why isn't the HDTV playing or showing anything? I don't know and I'm about to go out of my skull because of this... The XFX support just told me "the card should be able to play them both", that is the monitor and the HDTV should run simultaneously on the same card using the two DVI links with no problems at all.
Please any help. I would really appreciate any help at all.
