How do I connect my PC to my HDTV?

How can I connect my PC monitor to my HDTV via HDMI?

  • I have two Asus LCD HDMI monitors connected to my PC. They both have HDMI inputs. How can I connect one of them to my LG LD350 HDTV via HMDI? I have connected one of the monitors to the tv, and the tv says no signal. I have looked through the Display settings under Control Panel, but none of the settings help. The TV is not listed as one of the displays. Can I even have the TV display what is on the monitor via that HDMI input? If not, what are my other options? I would like to be able to watch streaming videos and videos from my hard drive on my TV. OS: Windows 7 Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD2 Graphics card: GeForce GTX260

  • Answer:

    You will NEVER be able to drive three displays using just one GTX260. The GTX260's GPU is designed to support TWO displays only. If you want to drive three displays independently (be able to show different things on each screen), there are two ways: 1) the most seamless way is with a video card that supports THREE monitors natively, such as one of the new DisplayPort-equipped ATI Radeon HD5000-series video cards. The third display MUST be connected to the card's DisplayPort jack for triple displays to work, however. 2) the expensive, kludgy way: Add another GTX 260 card to your setup to run a dual GTX260 setup. Will also require a PSU with enough power to drive the two cards. Your choice. .

If i understand you correctly, your trying to get what your Asus monitor is displaying to go to the LG HDTV. Your doing this by connecting them to each other via hdmi. If thats the case it will never work. The HDMI connections on your tv's are both sitting there waiting for a signal. neither is sending one.You need a DVI-HDMI adapter to attach to your graphics card. then you could insert the hdmi cable into that and viola. One draw back though. you wont have any sound going through the hdmi cable. you still have to connect through the pc's sound card.

There's none of video out on you motherboard and you want 3 HDMI then you need to either pick a replacement with HDMI or a video card with HDMI out (there's another PCI Express 2.0 on your motherboard now) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131638

The question sounds like you are hooking your monitor up to your TV. The HDMI on the back of your monitor is an input, not an output. The Input on the monitor allows you to plug in a device such as a blueray player to your monitor and watch blueray movies on your monitor. It is not an output. In order to watch movies on your TV, your video card would have to have a HDMI output on your video card. GeForce GTX260 is a little vague (there are multiple vendors of this chipset) but it looks like none of them that I could find come with an HDMI output. Your best bet is to use the VGA (PC or RGB) input on the back of your TV and run the feed straight from your computer to the TV this way. In short, cross connecting your monitor to your TV will not do what you want it to do.
