I'm assuming it's the hdmi cable. I just ordered my tv so I can't be certain, but from what I've read I don't think this tv is hdmi 1.3 compatible.

I think this guy probably already figured out how, but for future references:On your remote click Viera Tools. When the menu for it comes up click THX and put it in THX mode. You can not display your computer using an HDMI cable without THX mode.

it's a VGA adapter for HDMI port. HDMI is the best resolution like a TV. I'm not positive of your resolution needs but if it's high resolution then yes HDMI will be able to display it.

I have the same computer that you have. I hooked the cable up to three different TVs and it still doesn't work. I haven't tried the VGA port (blue port) on it yet; but the RCA ports (the red, white, and yellow) do not work.

Ive got the same problem..the answer is...you need a VGA to HDMI. NOT a HDMI to VGA...The thing is it wont work going the other way. Plugable support helped me...when going from old VGA computer to new HDMI. it slows everything down so the best thing you need to do is buy a newer computer with HDMI. you can go to plugable .com /support ..they are very helpful...

Since the 5770 has only one display port, and only one hdmi (as well as two single-link DVI ports) I'd suggest hooking one up with the (included, in my case) HDMI cable and one to the display port. The display port on the monitor is full size, so if you're connecting it to a comp with a mini display port, you'd need either a cable from full size to mini, or a regular display port cable with a full-size-to-mini adapter at the end. If you happen to have purchased a recent Mac laptop or Mac Mini, check for an adapter. Depending on the model and when you bought it, a DVI-to-mini display port adapter, or a display port to mini display port, or even an HDMI to mini display port adapter may have been included.

Jimmy, most modern HDTV's do not "like" the old 240P signal which those systems generate video on. My Sony Plasma just gets a black screen on some. By going through your receiver, that device is likely scaling to a different resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, etc.) which the tv then does like! I personally had to get a video upscaler instead of this device, and used that with SCART RGB to go to HDMI. I kept this device to use on my old CRT that accepts component input.

You don't need drivers for this monitor, as soon as you connect it via HDMI it should be recognized. If you want it to run at a higher refresh rate that 60 Hz you have to create a custom driver using Powerstrip. You then create a custom resolution (1920X1080) and refresh rate (I suggest 72 Hz) and create the driver. Then go into advanced display settings/monitor in Windows. Click on Properties and go to the Driver tab, then you'll see update driver option. Select Browse your computer option and select the folder containing the custom driver. Save the driver in case you have to do it again in the future. This is how I got mine to run at 72 Hz and it works perfectly...

This computer does not have an hdmi output...it has a display port output that requires an adapter to connect an hdmi cable. If you are using a display port to hdmi adapter, I am not sure what the problem is. Hopefully it is the adapter and not the port/card.

Anthony,Thank you for the inquiry about the dual HDMI card. Unfortunately we're unable to confirm if this card is compatible with your specific plasma display. We have sent an inquiry directly to Panasonic -- but will likely not get a response from them until sometime next week. Thank you for your patience.Dave

I purchased "1080p Hdmi Male input to VGA + Audio Output Cable Converter Adapter for Hdtv Pc" at Amazon's suggestion. I was unable to view laptop images on my LG HDTV. The laptop has a Nvidia card and works with analog TV. My solution was to purchase another computer (used) with an HDMI output - not very economical but it did work. KS

Try VGA to S-video and 3RCA cable - http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9813. If did not work, you will loose $3 for the cable.

I seriously doubt there are any windows 8 drivers for such an old monitor. Usually windows is pretty good about finding correct drivers but generally this type of monitor shouldn't need any special drivers. I don't have mine anymore but I seem to remember it working just fine with win7 so I would try using those drivers.

Are you hoked up to cable? Sometimes the settings on the cable box itself can mess with the TV output also. Not sure if that's the problem but it's definitely worth checking out. the only time I've had that kind of problem was when connecting the PC to the TV via HDMI.. but that was the graphics card settings, not the Panny.

Okay, I just connected it via HDMI. Big improvement. I don't understand why. I have a 720P TV and I thought component gives 720. But the HDMI really made a difference.Thanks

Your TV still has to be capable of handling the resolution of the PC's output. For example, if the PC output is 1080p and your TV cannot handle that video resolution, it will not work.

It could be a bad HDMI cable or your tv can't display it. I've connected this with my Nexus 7 2nd generation to several different tv's and worked perfectly.Try with another HDMI cable.
