[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1095963, member: 24160"] Leon5: Once you know it works on one TV but not the next, you know there is something going on with the TV itself. From the Sharp manual: (outdated image link removed) What these type of notes tell me from all the manuals I've read and TVs I've seen that don't work, is that this TV does not pass EDID info along to the devices it is connected to. Meaning, it doesn't tell a device when it's connected and depends on that device to just send it a signal as a DVD player, satellite receiver, etc. would do. Typically, a note like this means it won't work with anything except Windows. But, don't give up yet. If you're using HDMI 2, I would suggest moving it to HDMI 1. That is the port the manual is saying to use with a DVI device where you need a separate audio input with it. It's possible the HDMI 1 is the only port that will pass this EDID info along. If that doesn't work, then you might try clamshell mode (staying with HDMI 1) to see if it will force the Mac to put out a signal without detecting the monitor. Continue trying the detect displays function in the Displays preferences. The only resolution this TV supports from a PC in 16:9 aspect ratio is 1360x768. That should be good for watching videos, but you're not going to like text on it. Here's a [URL='https://www.sharpusa.com/']link[/URL] to download a copy of your Owner's Manual if you've lost yours.
