You try to display the resolution 1024 x 768 and still do not get picture or a distorted picture on the TV. This is due to the PC-setting:

  1. Go to the desktop of your PC
  2. Click right. The desktop menu appears.
  3. Go to PROPERTIES and click left. The monitor settings menu appears.
  4. Un-ticker the box “Hide modes that this monitor cannot display”
  • On the PC: Select a valid PC-format the TV can handle (640x480@60Hz ; 800x600@60Hz or 1024x768@60Hz) and the video formats (720p 1080i)
  • And switch the PC off
  • Use a DVI-to-HDMI connection cable to make a connection between DVI of the PC and the HDMI of the TV
  • Switch the TV on and select the connected HDMI source
  • Go to menu and select source type PC
  • Put the PictureFormat in AutoFormat
