PC displays on TV but not my monitor?

[Lucas Singh]

I'm using a HDMI cable from my monitor to my MSI GTX 750 Ti and i'm not getting any display. It works on my TV, however for it to work on my TV I noticed that I had to use HDMI 1 rather HDMI 2. I would do the same thing on my monitor but it only has 1 HDMI port and nothing will display? I tried changing the analog from HDMI to DVI to D-sub and still nothing. Would could be the issue? The monitor works for all other HDMI devices like my PS3 or Xbox 360. I also tried a different HDMI cable and it's not that.

Monitor is a BenQ GL2450 MLG Gaming Monitor

Did you enable the monitor as a secondary display?

If you're running Windows 7, press the Windows and the "P" key at the same time. With the pop-up, use the arrow keys to select either duplicate (same on both displays) or extend (spanning two displays). If it's already on duplicate (or cloned), try changing it to extended.

I got it working. I swapped the HDMI cable ends and it works now. I don't why it did that though because I thought both ends were the same?
