Can't add TV to eyefinity setup

Post by clancaster23 »

I'm trying to add my HDTV to my current three screen setup. I have an R9 270x and three 27" monitors running on it. This is my card: http://www.powercolor.com/au/products_f ... cification

My monitors are connected like so:
Left monitor: Displayport through Sapphire active displayport/dvi adapter http://www.dvhardware.net/news/2010/sap ... splaypor...
Center monitor: DVI
Right monitor: HDMI at monitor, connected to computer with HDMI/DVI adapter
This is the new adapter I am using for the right monitor: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters%C2% ... Plated-F...

TV: HDMI

When I open the Catalyst Control Center, it sees the TV but it's black like it's detecting it but it's disabled.

Also, if I initially start my computer, It will show the startup info on the TV but just for a couple second then nothing else so I know it's detecting it, it just won't use it during regular use. Shouldn't I be able to got all four to work with this card? If so, what am I missing?

Your adapter link above is broken...............

My guess is you need an active adapter for HDMI/DVI, but you bought passive. This could cause your issue. Not certain though, you should look into it.

There is also another good active thread, you could read for ideas. Setting up multi-monitor can be finicky. Switching stuff up will often fix it, but this requires your own testing. Try all the connection variations at your disposal.

No, I unplug the right monitor and all screens go out for a second then my left and center screen come back on but the TV does not come on.

I didn't think the HDMI/DVI adapter was necessary considering I have one in use for my left monitor. I thought you only needed on per setup?
