Hi,
I'm wondering if there has been progress on connecting a TV to my new (Dell) i5 computer using the HDMI port. I find that it sporadically will work, so I know how good this display can be. When it is working and the display goes blank (times out), it will come back "blotchy," with lighter and darker characters and holes in the letters filled in. Updating the driver got me my audio, which was not working, but the display still has this issue.
I took pictures that illustrate the issue, if this is needed. I suspect a screen dump will not illustrate the problem. I also have below the output from the driver program that tells you what I got. Can anyone say whether a normal VGA cord will fix the problem? It's a $20 experiment and the cable will be difficult to run, but I want this new computer to give me readable text! Thanks for any help people can provide.
Mike
