CheeseMan42 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Does anyone who has a 4800 series ATI card have an HDTV as a second monitor? I'm trying to set mine up and my card won't detect it no matter what I do. My old 6200 detected as soon as it was plugged in. Anyone have any ideas?

viperk1 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 force detection? what's the TV model? and what are you connecting with (vga/dvi/hmdi) ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow47 Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I don't think it'll be able to work as a secondary if you're connecting via component because of the port, but if you're just hooking it up using the second dvi port to either vga/dvi/hdmi you should be fine... More info plz! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I don't have any problem with mine. What connection are you using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Didn't have any trouble with mine either... I used the that dongle thing tho with the RGB at first... then I got an hdmi cable..... which released a whole slew of more desirable resolutions including being able to detect what my tv was capable of displaying. So what are you trying. Component? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I have a 3850 that works just fine with my HDTV. Like the others have said, we need more information before we can help you, most important being what type of connection you're using.

More info plz! I suppose I forgot to mention that I was using a DVI to HDMI cable. Thought I put that in there. I don't have any problem with mine. What connection are you using? It works now. For some reason it didn't like the first HDMI port on my TV. Port 2 works fine though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Yea, DVI to HDMI can be finicky. You just gotta show the TV a little love Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Yea, DVI to HDMI can be finicky. You just gotta show the TV a little love Hitting it usually helps. In all reality it shouldn't be a problem but the converters sometimes cause weird things to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Threaded Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Make sure you set the resolution first. Chances are, your monitor resolution is too big for the TV, especially if it's 720p. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I have my 4870 hooked up using the HDMI adapter to my Denon amp to my Samsung. Run over to the avsforum under the HTPC forum you should find EDID workarounds if you get stuck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
