Connect to TV through HDMI

Forum Graphic & Displays : AMD Radeon Connect to TV through HDMI

Word :    Username :           
 

I'm connecting the laptop to the LCD TV through HDMI port. The laptop has AMD Radeon 6520G which supports resolution up to 1366x768 and I have the latest set of drivers. The OS is Win 7 64-bit. The TV brand is Dynex 720p purchased a year ago.
I usually set it up as "Extended display". Sometimes, I get the display and sound on TV with resolution upto 1360x768. Sometimes, the TV is recognized as non-PNP monitor (DVI) with 640x480 resolution and I don't get any sound at all. Sometimes, the laptop can't detect the TV.
Is this a HDMI handshake problem?
This is really frustrating. Sometimes I waste 30 mins just for troubleshooting the HDMI output.
I don't think it's a problem with the TV. When I connect the Blu-ray player through HDMI, it works fine.

Have you tried a different HDMI cable?

Sounds like a flaky HDMI connector on the laptop. If you jiggle the cable in the connector, does it affect the display?

Reply to COLGeek

The connection is firm. It doesn't seem to be flaky.
