Today's task: Replace old WinXP kiosk computer with the Win7 box i've been setting up. Display is a panasonic viera tv, maybe 42", which counts as a non-PNP monitor.
All is going well until i try and correct aspect ratio by changing the resolution (i've already changed it twice) to 1440*900, and I stupidly click ok tather than preview. Display throws a wobbly and just goes to black screen with PC mode indicator. I hook new PC up to monitor I've been using during setup and reset resolution lower. (Check, video card not stuffed). Still no display on big screen.
Next i hook up old computer. Big screen still works fine with that.
So what can I do to make the display talk to the new computer again? Connection is SVGA.

Throw on a (vga) monitor. Lower resolution to below 1366x768. Plug in VGA.

 

But it should be scaling based on info fed back. Or set a custom resolution/refresh rate.

 

 

 

But seriously,  look for a display port outlet. Pretty sure from the 8200 model up come with. Which is digital and will solve the issue with HDMI resolutions.
