Dvi to hdmi works doesn't work with new tv

I have been searching constantly for several days, and I have not been able to find a solution.
I have been using a 32" Vizio HDTV as a monitor for my 2008 macbook pro via DVI to HDMI for over a year now. Recently, we purchased a new 39" Sanyo HDTV for out living room, and the screen continuasly flashes blue when I try to connect my laptop to the tv. I have also tested my computer on a 42" Sony TV, and it also works fine on that TV.
I am also able to run windows through bootcamp on every TV mentioned above except the Sanyo TV lags a lot in windows. Why can't I get my laptop to display properly on the Sanyo TV, (blue flashing in OSX and lagging in Windows 7)?
Should I try buying a DVI to Component/Composite cable? The Sanyo doesn't have a VGA port, but should I also try going from DVI to VGA to Component? The TV has no option for "game mode" or "image processing". I am lost of what to do.

I found an answer that helped me get my MBP talking to my Philips 42" Plasma TV on this discussion thread:

Here is what I did (in a Terminal window):
Commands (pasted here for your convenience):
cd /System/Library/Displays/Overrides/DisplayVendorID-410c/
sudo mv DisplayProductID-0 DisplayProductID-0.old

  • My Fall 2009 system DVI output to our HDTV doesn't include audio.  Connecting the Macbook headphone output to the TV's RCA plugs works if TV is in AV (PC) mode, but no picture.  DVI to HDMI adapter to TV works fine for picture, but no audio.

    My Fall 2009 model Macbook Pro DVI output apparently doesn't include audion.  Adapting DVI to HDMI works with new LG TV, but doesn't provide sound.  Connecting the Macbook headphone output to the TV's RCA jacks give sound with the TV in AV (PC) mode, but no video.  Is there a fix for this?  Search for a DVI to HDMI adapter that includes a plug for the headphone jack comes up empty, so far.

    DVI has never included audio, sorry.
    There is also no DVI->HDMI adapter including a plug for audio; such thing cannot work without quite a bit of electronic extra effort.
    Instead of much bla-bla, why don't you tell the exact TV model, and we'll try to come up with a solution?
    BTW, no home theater AV receiver present, correct? Sound to come from the TV, correct?

  • DVI to Video adapter doesn´t work! HELP!

    I bought a dvi to video adapter (RCA or SVideo) and I already tried on two diferent TVs and none of them worked? What should I do? Does it have a setup to do?

    We really need some more details to be able to help with your situation.
    Is the adapter an Apple one, or some other brand?
    What model TVs do you have? Please be as specific with the model numbers as possible.
    When you say it doesn't work, what exactly happens?
    And finally: what kind of Mac do you have? You posted in the Mac Mini forum, but your signature says MacBook.
    If it is a Mac Mini, did you set it up initially using a regular monitor first?

  • Dr. Bott Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable doesn't work.

    I'm trying to connect my MacBook (mid 2010) with my tv and I can't get it working properly. I have the HDMI cable, and the mini display port to the HDMI cable. When I connect the computer to the tv, the computer screen turns light blue like it is about to synchronize, but the tv screen remains black. After a moment, 2 boxes appear on my tv screen. One says "HDMI1: and  the other "no signal detected".
    I've tried with "detect displays", I've tried connecting to all the HDMI ports I have on my TV, I've tried basically everything but it still doesn't work.
    This is the adapter - http://www.drbott.net/product/7395-MDPA/
    My TV is a fairly new Samsung, and everything else is working fine, I don't know why this won't function. It's frustrating me.
    Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    When I have this problem, it is because my Macbook Pro is using "Integrated" graphics vs the "Descrete" graphics.  I control this via the gfxCardStatus menubar utility.
    You could also try reseting the smc controller

    and/or resetting the PRAM

    That exhausts my ideas.

  • My HDMI port doesn't work

    Hello I upgraded my windows to 8.1-64 bit and after that I found out my HDMI port and Bluetooth doesn't work , from this page I download Intel High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver which finish installing with a error that says---------------------------
    This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software.---------------------------
    also I downloaded Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth 4.0+HS Driver for Microsoft Windows but nothing happend , in the other hand I am prety sure that my product bluetooth is  Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software for Bluetooth® technology (it was previous  windows driver)  that I downloaded it from this link and it didn't work.I'd appreciate it if someon help me.procuct model: pavilion dv6-6c55se

    Hi: I don't think you are going to have any luck running W8.1 on that machine. The Intel graphics driver won't work because you have the custom AMD/Intel switchable graphics and only the AMD driver should be used for that setup as it also contains the special Intel graphics drivers needed. You can try this W8 driver for the graphics, and if it doesn't work on W8.1, then game over. This package provides the AMD High-Definition (HD) Graphics Driver and Catalyst Control Center for supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. For notebooks with switchable graphics modes, this package includes drivers for both graphics processing units (GPUs). Switchable graphics enable users to switch between a power-saving graphics mode (normally used under battery power) and a high-performance graphics mode. If high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) video output is supported, this package also installs the HDMI Audio Driver. File name: sp59850.exe The Intel bluetooth...you posted a W8 driver. I would try the W8.1 driver... https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/23449/Intel-PROSet-Wireless-Software-for-Bluetooth-technology-for-Windows-8-1- If you are unsure as to what bluetooth driver you need, you always install the corresponding model bluetooth driver for the model wireless card your notebook has. So, if you have an Intel wireless card, then you install the Intel bluetooth driver. If you have an atheros wireless card, then you install the atheros bluetooth driver, and so forth. 

  • Rocketfish Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter doesn't work

    I recently bought a Rocketfish adapter for my late 2010 Macbook Pro and it doesn't work on my TV. I'm going to try swapping it out tomorrow to see if that's the problem, but just in case it wasn't, I thought I'd come and ask someone who'd know the answer. The TV is an Insignia TV, the HDMI cable works - we use it for out BluRay player - the adapter just...doesn't work. When I turn the TV on, my screen briefly goes to a light blue, then back to my normal desktop. Mildly frustrating that this won't work. Anybody have any advice they can offer?

    CLICK "SYSTEM PREFERENCES", THEN FIND AND CLICK THE "DISPLAY", GO TO AND CLICK THE "ARRANGEMENT" AND CLICK "MIRROR DISPLAY" PROBLEM SOLVE GUARANTEE, AND ON THE AUDIO PROBLEM, GO TO "SOUNDS AND CLICK "HDMI" OR "VGA" IF YOU ARE USING VGA CORD. NO NEED TO UPDATE THE SOFWARE. WORKS LIKE MAGIC.

  • Qosmio X70-A-11Q - HDMI Monitor doesn't work

    Hello
    I work on my Laptop with 2 external monitors. One is connected via VGA and the other via HDMI. That all worked fine until yesterday where my HDMI monitor couldn't be found.
    Things i already tested:
    I tested the moitor by connecting it with another computer and it worked (with HDMI), so the monitor can't be the issue.
    I also tried an other HDMI cable...didn't work ether.
    BIOS is updated to the latest version
    graphics driver from NVIDIA graphics card and from the standard intel graphics card are updated to the latest version.
    Also a strange thing: when im in the BIOS menu while having VGA plugged in the screen keeps turning black for 1-2 secounds and then turning on again
    Would be great to get some tips on what i can do :)
    thanks

    Hi
    Are you able to use the HDMI out port without connecting another additional monitor to the VGA port? Please check this because from my experience it should be possible to use either the VGA or HDMI port.
    However, I think the problem might be related to one of the graphic card driver.
    Why? Because I think that one video out port would be controlled by one graphic chip.
    In case you are using two monitors at the same time (VGA and HDMI) one video graphic card (nVidia or Intel) would control VGA port and the other HDMI port.
    I think you should reinstall the Intel display driver.
    First of all you should uninstall the installed Intel display driver from the system (do that in device manager). Then you should reboot the notebook. On the Toshiba EU driver page you would find the latest Intel driver v10.18.10.3308
    This driver is released for Win 8.1 as well as Win 8 and Win 7
    Would recommend you to install this version to fix the HDMI problem

  • Will MEMASSPO or MEMASSIN work to update PO with new transit table data

    I'm looking to refresh PO's (ME22N) with new transit table data.  Would MEMASSPO or MEMASSIN refresh PO's, i.e. new delivery date, with the new transit data. 
    The only work around we have found is to go into each PO, add a text field and then save.   We want to write a WinShuttle script to fix the thousands of PO's, but some PO's already have a text field, and the WinShuttle script will erase the text previously entered in the PO.
    Thanks.

    MEMASSIN will certainly not effect purchase orders, as it is the info record mass maintenance.
    And changes in master data never effect already existing transactional data.
    I dont think that MEMASSPO will effect any other table than the 2 tables listed (EKKO and EKPO)
    But it is easy for you to just test it for a single PO with MEMASSPO, so you will immediatly know if it does or not.

  • MacBook Pro DVI-HDMI 1080p doesn't work correctly

    Hello,
    I've just bought new Samsung LCD TV LE40B550. This TV is Full HD and support 1080p. I've connected it via DVI (macbook pro) -> HDMI (TV) cable. It works ok, when I set 1080i. But when I set up 1080p, it shows few dots (pixels) on TV not correctly. The picture is not that good as 1080i. Shouldn't it be reversely? The 1080p should be 1080i, shouldn't be?

    You probably want to post this in the MacBook Pro forum:

    There is a sub forum just for displays, video out, and video accessories.

  • In my envy 13, the hdmi connection doesn't work with windows 8

    everything works properly in the laptop, except the HDMI connection

    I wrote this VI to investigate how to integrate a Joystick into my LabVIEW code (I called the VI "Joystick Sampler").  It has two parts -- the lower function, "Query Input Devices", makes an array of devices, their names and number of Axes, Buttons, and POV "hats", in an array called "Joystick Info".  Look at this first, paying attention to the Array Index that seems to correspond to your Joystick when you plug it into a USB port.
    The upper code will sample (one of the) Joystick(s) at the rate of 10 Hz, allowing you to test buttons, axes, etc.  Note that the first "Initialize Joystick" function takes a parameter (default = 0) that corresponds to the Joystick Index you discovered by examining the Joystick Info array (see previous paragraph) -- if your Joystick, for example, seems to be at Index = 4, wire a "4" into the Initialize Joystick function.
