Hello everyone
I recently purchased a Sony Bravia and I'm having trouble connecting my macbook to it.
The cables I am trying to use are a mini-DVI to HDMI and a HDMI to HDMI for extra length. When I got into Displays in System Preferences, a number of things happen depending on the resolution I choose.
1. if I choose 1920 x 1080 which is my TV s display resolution and the one I'd like to use - if I pick the 60Hz or the 50Hz versions, the TV screen is black as if there is nothing plugged into the HDMI port. If i choose the 24Hz version, it works for a second, then goes black again, the I can see the desktop for another second and then it goes black again and so on. All this is a sort of flickering between those different states.
2. If I choose other interlaced resolutions (I can tell because I installed SwitchResX), it flickers as described above.
3. The only resolutions that are actually working are 720x480 and 720x something else - so very low resolutions. As soon as I try to go above, the screen either flickers between the correct image and a black screen or is just black throughout.
Can anyone please help? This is driving me nuts...
Just so you know - I have tried mirroring on and off on different settings, and I have also switched between overscan and non-overscan..
Thank you!
