The exact same thing happened to me. I returned it as well - I was going to buy another but seeing that this is a common problem I'm hesitant now.

Unfortunately I've realized this specific machine has a short in it which is a manufacturers error. Either the microphone won't work, the screen won't work or the speakers. Send it back.

I think you have a dud---DOA. Mine worked as a "plug and play." Sorry I can not be more helpful.

Playstations are weird with their display outs. Make sure you're sending a resolution you TV supports. Put frozen back in and see. Check connections.

When you say "hook up", do you mean "stream" to your TV? If so, I have no idea, as mine streams perfectly. Recheck your settings and connection, and if they're all fine, the item may just be defective. Return for a replacement.

Are you using the cable that came with the monitor? I had some issues getting mine setup, but it was related to the cable I was using. You may want to try using a different cable rated for the high resolution that the monitor offers.

I think something is wrong with the installation. Mine worked straight away, try re installing the screen allover.

It sounds like you may have had the same issue I had. I took it to a camera shop and all this guy did was push a few buttons on the HDMI and waited then the image popped up. So the key is fiddle with it and wait I guess.

Check the connectors on your monitor, you might need to find one with female VGA connector on the other side.

You have to make sure that you plug the included USB cord from the back of the monitor (right next to the DVI input) into your computer (or a connected hub), just as you would any other USB hub. They certainly should have included this in the instructions!

Make sure you are on the right component input. If that doesnt work then try it on another tv. It will let you know if the cable is bad or tv input is bad.

There are some out there and I had the same problem. I was told by a computer website that display port was a little higher than hdmi and it wouldn't work correctly so I just use display port to display port

Try going into your system preference then displays, there should be a tab for system preferences. If u don't see it try hitting detect displays. If that isn't working make sure you are on the right HDMI channel on your tv. Mine won't work if I'm in full screen mode in a program so maybe that's affecting it too? If none of that is working try another HDMI port until it does. If that isn't working you may have a defective cable

try to reset the device by unplugging it and plugging it back in. also, make sure you take the tiny protective cover off of the end of the optical cord that plugs into your tv. its small and very hard to see.

I haven't had this problem yet but maybe the connection that runs under the display to the wires in the base of the machine are loose. Unscrew the display and check the connection.
