[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1107578, member: 24160"] You do have one of the PBs that has mini-DVI? e.g. You're plugging it directly into the PB without another adapter? Next, open up the owners manual for the TV and check to see if it recommends a specific HDMI port to be used with a computer. There may be only asingle port that transmits proper EDID info. I have also read several reports of PB users saying they had to use DisplayConfigX to get it to work. This is most likely due to the newest PB coming out at least a couple of years prior to HDMI making it onto any consumer products and the video driver does not recognize the info it's receiving. I am post Intel, so have zero experience with any PPC machine. The posts I've read around the web though, suggest using a mini-DVI to DVI adapter and then a DVI to HDMI cable. Can't say if that's a real solution or not. [/QUOTE]
