Hi. I just bought myself an LCD TV, and I was planning to use it as a second monitor with my pc. I've got a GeForce 6600GT and my ordinary monitor uses VGA, so basically, I've got the DVI connection free, and a TV that supports DVI. The TV is an Acer AL2671W and I'm running the lastest official nVidia drivers. My problems are:
* The computer fails to realise that the TV is actually digitally connected when I use the DVI cable. The computer just sees it as another analog screen. I've tried all different settings (dualview, clone etc.) but I can't get the TV to display anything, it just says no signal. I got the screen to work through DVI once, when I unplugged the PC monitor and rebooted, but I've never been able to get it to work again after that.
*When I use the VGA cable with the DVI->VGA connector, the computer thinks that the TV is digitally connected. Sometimes, I get the TV to display things, but it doesn't seem to work if I use the PC monitor as primary unit, and I want it to be. Usually though, only the PC monitor works.
I've got nu clue how to deal with this. I've tried searching google, but it's pretty much impossible to find anything helpful, DVI, VGA etc. is mentioned pretty much everywhere.
The ideal case would be if I could run dualview, with the PC monitor as primary unit. The native resolution of the PC monitor is 1280*1024, and the TV's is 1280*768, so cloning really isn't an option. As it is now, it's possible to get the TV to work most times through VGA, but only if i use clone. I mean the picture is OK, but DVI is much better
