I just got a new pc (windows 7, 64bit) that has a HDMI port on it, I'm trying to use this port to send a video signal to my monitor (Hannspree HF257) and can not get it to work.
I simply got a HDMI to HDMI cable, plugged it into the pc and the HDMI 1 port on the monitor.
When selecting HDMI 1 as the input setting on the monitor, I only see my desktop wallpaper, no icons, tool bars or cursor. Everything works fine with a VGA cable.
I searched for a driver update and only found one available for vista. The Window's device manager says the driver is current.
Any ideas? Is this even worth doing? I'm just kinda playing around with this because a kid at work said it would greatly improve my picture quality.
Thanks in advance.
