Hello,

I can not get my Vizio (Model E371VL) to display my desktop. I just purchased my computer on Friday and updated Windows 7 and my GPU. I can display my desktop by using a DVI to VGA cable but when I plug in the HDMI it says "No Signal". Sometimes it says "Retreving Data" and then says "No Signal" again.

TV: Vizio (Model E371VL)
GPU: NVIDIA GeForcw GTX 570
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe

 
Solution
ok can try uninstalling Lucid Virtu MAX if it is installed. This is the software the igpu uses.

Sorry for the question, you are using the right hdmi port? The graphics card, the one that should be used has an hdmi port next to the dvi port. Reason im asking and sorry again if its silly is the motherboard has one too.
Do you nave an NVIDIA GPU? I'm not sure how to set it as an active display adapter and would appreciate a quick walkthrough!

I read the following:

""Scroll down to the listing for your HDMI port under "Display Adapters." If the HDMI port is not listed, it is likely the HDMI port has completely failed and will need to be replaced. If the listing is present, right-click on it and click "Properties."

My HDMI port is not displayed; is it true that my HDMI port has failed?
 
sorry i donot have an nvidia card with HDMI handy. i would update your drivers for your nvidia card. then connect your tv and reboot the computer it should detect the HDMI connection then and allow your to go into the Nvidia control panel and set the display for your TV through the HDMI..
 
hmm im curious go ahead and connect your HDMI and set your tv to the input then on your computer right click on the desktop and select "Screen Resolution" then look to see if there are 2 monitors there.
 
There are two displays shown.

Left - E371VL (my TV), numbered 2
Right - NVD SIM DSP (no idea what it is), numbered 1

Not sure if I mentioned this, but I am using the TV right now. I'm running DVI from my PC through an adapter to the RGB on my TV. Thank you for all your help so far!
 
hmm im not sure what that is other then it might be detecting the video card as a display. i would try uninstall and reinstall your drivers. it seems to have cured most with similar issues.
 
Are you using hdmi 2 on the tv? looking at the manual it states to use 2, but I’m confused also with the manual when its saying to plug in L & R audio jacks, shouldn’t the hdmi take care of sound on the tv. And same with a dvd player 😱
 
if your graphics card interfaces with your sound card its not a problem. (that is why some graphics cards have sound cable adapters.) most newer cards will pull sound from integrated sound NP but will may not pull sound from expansion sound cards. without a sound cable attached.
 
Yes, that is really all I use the computer for. I played Dragon Age 2 today and it looks great even using the DVI to RGB. I am more just curious and frustrated as to what is wrong with my HDMI.
 
I meant I don't know how to change from 1080p to 720, sorry! I made the resolution 1280 x 720 and it still did not work. I could accept that it does not work on this TV, but I also attempted to hook my PC up to a Sharp TV as well. I could even live with that; two tv's that don't work with my pc. But I can't even get my computer to show me that is recognizes that the HDMI cable is plugged in. Thanks for letting me rant :)
