Problems with Using TV for Monitor

[Craka]

Has anyone tried to use a large LCD/Plasma TV for their monitor? I tried using the HDMI connection on my GTX260 video card and the screen just went black. Windows 7 / XP Pro works great, just like using the smaller computer monitor and i can watch videos, surf web, email, etc. Only when i start TDU does it go black and i have to reset the computer. TDU works on my 22" LCD computer monitor at 1680x1050 with AA @ 4X, HDR on. (I get 75-160FPS with these settings). Tried 2 different systems (AMD 720BE @ 3.8Ghz, 4GB ram, 150GB Velociraptor and 500GB WD Black harddrives, XFX GTX-260, 750W PSU. other system: Core2duo E8400 @ 3.7Ghz, 4GB ram, 143GB 15K SCSI HD, EVGA GTX-260, 750W PSU). Tried a Radeon 4670 in the AMD system and even that didn't work. Updated to 1.66A and installed Megapack. Not using any other patches yet since i've been unable to get it working on the 65" TV. Controller is Logitech Momo wheel. Monitor is 1080P and windows is running at 1920x1080. Also tried different Nvidia driver versions with no luck.

 

Mellors: Thanks for the tip, this work great and i now have TDU running at 1920x1080. Note: I had to lower the resolution in TDU using an LCD computer monitor first to 800x600, shut down the computer, hook up my TV, fire up TDU and change the resolution to 1920x1080 after the HDMI connection is reconized by the TV (takes about 20 seconds on my TV) so buy the time you see anything you are looking at the Main Menu "start new game", "continue", etc

I have used a 32" HDTV for my pc but on TDU the resolution can't go above 1.2k :O

Watching movies is not a problem, blueray or DVD movies will play.

 

What is the resolution of your TV? 1920x1080? or 1366x720? I tried to play on a smaller TV @ the 1366x720 resolution and it worked but it was connected using the 15pin RGB cable. My 65" TV does not have a 15pin RGB port so i was using the HDMI port.

Please don't double post, thanks.

 

I use my TV as my day to day PC monitor and it's at 1920x1080. Try setting your ingame resolution to 800x600 and save it. Then connect to your TV at 1920x1080 and try to play the game. It worked for me when I did it.
