    Hello and welcome.

    For some reason my LG 42LS345T can't be detected by the Nvidia control panel or windows 7, it works fine with my other PC, I've tried (rigorous display detection) was unable to find additional displays, force television detection is gray'd out, my TV read's (no signal).

    Perhaps it's down to my Maximus V Gene motherboard's HDMI, My graphics card is EVGA GTX 670 Cheesecake which has no HDMI socket to speak of.

    Thanks for your time.

    My build information is bellow in signature.

    I've no idea why the word (cheesecake) appears instead of F-T-W above it's not available to edit, it's just there? some kind of word filtering system gone wrong?

    Well if you're not using the 670, then you can't detect it from nvidia control panel. If you have hdmi on motherboard then using the onboard intel hd gpu. 670 does have hdmi, just the mini connector. You should have mini to full size hdmi adapter in the gpu box, I know mine came with one.

    So let me get this straight - display is not detected on a HDMI port connected to GeForce or motherboard ? If it is detected at 1024x768 when connected to GeForce, but not with the motherboard HDMI, and it's not because of the cable, then your EDID information in display got corrupted.

    With NVIDIA, it can be fixed using EDID override monitor driver, for the rest there is unfortunately no known fix.

    You make a good point in regards to the M.B, but my GTX 670 only has mini to full size DVI if I've got the correct term? nothing thats compatible with the HDTV without DVI to HDMI adapter of some kind, the only thing I'm running off my GTX is an ancient generic PnP monitor with a mini DVI.
    I've tried unplugging it and just running through the HDMI cable like I've done with the spare win 8 PC but no luck.

    Forgive my ignorance faugusztin/lysol :blush:, the HDMI is connected to the motherboard I/O, it's not detected in Windows personalize- settings ect etc nor the Nvidia control panel , Please expand on (your EDID information in display got corrupted) if applicable.

    If this is your card:

    Then you have a full size display port, full size HDMI and two DVI ports (top to bottom):

    Not sure what you mean by "mini DVI" though...

    Edit: To elaborate on your TV not being detected through your motherboard's HDMI port - The built in GPU has probably been disabled because of the presence of the discreet card. Check that device manager is showing the GTX 670 and something along the lines of "Intel HD Graphics". If it doesn't, then you will need to force enable the GPU by changing a setting in the BIOS.

    1) the option lancer778544 tried to name in his edit is "iGPU Multi-Monitor" :
    http://www.ocaholic.ch/xoops/html/modules/xcgal/displayimage.php?album=1924&pos=47&pid=24618
    Try to enable it, without this enabled and graphics card installed your iGPU is indeed disabled.

    2) If enabling that option doesn't help, plug your HDMI cable to the HDMI port on your card (unless you don't have the card you said) as pointed out by lancer. If it is indeed the EDID information that got corrupted, then you should get a picture on monitor, but you should be limited to 1024x768 resolution. If that is the case, then replace the monitor driver by this one : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11427180/EDIDOverride.inf

    What this monitor driver does is it forces the NVIDIA cards to use the EDID information from this monitor driver file, and ignore the one the card got (or didn't) from the display. The HKR,EDID_OVERRIDE lines in this file specified a 1920x1080 capable display with HDMI audio feature.

    If Bit-tech has an award for being can short of a six pack, I'm up for nomination :duh:
    I've just had another look at my GTX card, I hadn't noticed the HDMI socket because the plastic covers.
    :duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh::duh:
    two nights I've spent up trying to fix this problem.

    Just going to remove them, will report back shortly, my apologies to all.

    Don't worry, we've all been there at some point :hehe: I'm glad you got it sorted anyway.

    Out of curiosity, what connection did you mean when you said "mini DVI"? I don't think I've ever heard of it...

    Oh, and to answer your earlier question, yes the forum software automatically changes F-T-W to cheesecake.
