I have an LCD TV with a DVI-D input that I want to use with my new Vista PC.
(TV is Sharp Aquos LC-37D7U, video adapter is MSI NX7600GT).

When I boot the computer, I see the early boot messages in 640x480, then I
see the Windows Loading message. After that I hear the sound that is played
when it is time to log on, but no image shows on the TV. Yes, the TV is set
to PC (DVI) input.

If I connect my Dell monitor, log on, set resolution by hand to 1280x720,
then change the cable to connect the TV, the TV displays correctly. But if
the computer sleeps, the screen is blank when it wakes up.

The graphics adapter also supports HDMI, but when I connect with an HDMI
cable and set to HDMI input, I get no picture at all.

I want the TV to display in the correct mode on booting or wakeup without
having to have a second monitor and the cable-switching routine.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

You have to make sure in the NVIDIA control center or driver software that
your LCD is recognized as an HDTV and that you are only using a resolution
over HDMI that it will accept over HDMI. Certainly 720p (1280x720)@60Hz is
one of the valid resolutions. Obviously 480i is another since that is what
is used by default by the BIOS before Windows gets control and uses the one
you have selected with you graphics card driver.

get the latest beta drivers from Nvidia.com 101.41 it has a few fixes but
overall are not "ready" for Vista usage yet.. missing half the features...
obviously nvidia did nothing during the beta of vista over the last 2 years.
