Problems connecting computer to tv via dvi

I can't seem to use the tv as a computer monitor. I have dvi video output on my computer and I've connected the tv to the computer using a dvi-d cable. However, the tv shows no signal and computer (as well as another laptop w/dvi out) are not able to detect the tv.

I have the same problem.

Not sure if you have fixed your problem or not. When I hook up my pc to the ILO 32 HD...I ran DVI input for picture...you can also use HDMI if you like..I had a problem with sound and had to use a splitter and run sound into AV2 IN to get sound for some reason...your no picture...if you are getting a black screen, you need to set the resolution on your pc. VGA to 640x480 and SVGA should be 800x600 and XGA should set at 1024x768..most likely the last one is the one you need..and this is not a normal pc res....set your refresh rate to 60HZ. All this is done in the control panel/display/settings tab.
Also remember that you need to change your source on the TV to the proper connection to see it...ie component, HDMI etc.
