DVI to HDMI Problem/Question? Has anyone else had this or a similar problem?
296957
I have the same problem, same tv, same dvi to hdmi adapter, etc...Except I've got an ATI Radeon 8500. I wonder if it's an issue with the tv input and not the video card? Did you ever find a resolution?

I would try a new Video in cable, if problem still exists check the hdmi cable. If not a cable problem, return it as the conversion chip may be bad.

I've never had that problem. Try changing the VGA cable connected to the monitor, or if you have it connected via hdmi..if that doesn't work I would have to say it's the monitor. In cases like these, it's mostly the monitor. I actually just had a monitor do this to me as well, I had to buy a new monitor.

You'll have to get an audio cable. DVI doesn't carry audio signals, only video. HDMI is the connection type that is capable of carrying audio and video signals simultaneously.

Thank you for your advice, Sandra. Yes, I connected the monitor via HDMI. So now I have 3 cable, HDMI, DVI to D-Sub, and DVI to DVI cable. Which cable do you suggest to make a good picture ? Thanks again.

I have two external monitors connected; one via a DVI/DVI cable and the other via a DVI/HDMI cable. I have a convertor piece that I think may have come with it, but it looks like VGA to DVI. Hope that helps.

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

HDMI on this monitor previously had color profile issues as well. I'm a bit rusty with it since I fixed it long ago, but certain graphics cards wouldn't support the full gamut across HDMI because they would detect it as a TV instead of a monitor. DVI and VGA at the time were the only ones that didn't have that problem across all hardware, but I don't think that's much of an issue anymore.

I have just tried that and it worked. I normally use a HDMI input but my TV comes with a DVI input connector so I tried the DVI input and there was no problem. My suggestion is that you 1) turn off the HDMI splitter and all devices connected to the HDMI splitter, 2) turn on all devices connected to the HDMI splitter and then 3) turn on the HDMI splitter.

I'm not sure on your tv but I just picked up a Samsung Combo HDTV/Monitor and had nasty issues getting the picture right until I stumbled across an easter egg in their setup. My Mac Mini is connected via a DVI -> HDMI cable to my Samsung. The colors were way off and it was obvious that the signal was not digital going to the monitor until I labeled my HDMI input "PC". That fixed the colors. Setting the option for "Overscan" fixed the resolution. Now I get a picture that looks as good as the DVI -> DVI input from my laptop.-- Chris

The DVI to HDMI conversion doesn't transfer sound. Other option would be to connect speakers for sound as the ones on monitor are not loud at all.

I didn't have this issue, and I own two of the monitors. It may be defective, and I would also wonder which model you have (there are some S230HL models that have two DVI ports, some with two HDMI ports) as some were manufactured at earlier points in time. Personally, I'd return it and see if it was just a fluke.

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though. Yes, I have, that's why I bought it.

I'm thinking defective. I used both inputs switching between DVI & VGA and both worked fine. But if the problem exists on both monitors when used as analog then you may have another issue.

Try to check if you are at the right corresponding HDMI input. If that doesn't work try to go to > System preference > displays > click the HDMI output.Hope this work cause mine works fine.
