Hello all,
Yesterday I bought a new HP w2207h 22" monitor, it has both VGA and HDMI ports on it. My vid card is a SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 2600XT 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express, and has 2 DVI ports. The card came with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter and says it supports HDMI on the box. The problem im having is that when i have the monitor connected through HDMI I cant get a picture unless the resolution is set at 800x600 or lower. As soon as i go to change it to anything higher the screen goes black and randomly flickers. Ive tried updating with the newest ATI drivers (standalone and Castalyst Control Center ones), i even tried installing the drivers from the HP CD that came with the monitor. The OS is Win XP Pro. The rest of the PC is only 5 months old which i custom built with high end parts.
 
Seems strange that the adapter it came with wouldn't work. TVs often have specific resolution ranges that they work with. Unless you have it set to one of the specific resolutions, the TV just wont be able to make heads or tails of the signal its getting. Try 1360x768 and if that doesn't work, try the one closest to the full res of your TV.
