Panasonic 32" in LCD TC-32LX70

I am unable to use my Panasonic TC-32LX70 LCD TV as a monitor.  I am using a DVI to HDMI cable.  I have split the signal from my Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 video card with a DVI splitter cable to send the signal to the TV as well as my Samsung Syncmaster 906BW LCD monitor.  I have tried every concievable combination of resolution settings and sync settings that I can think of.  Also, when I turn my TV on the monitor goes blank.  When I shut the TV off the monitor comes back on but I still get nothing but a blank screen from the TV either way.  I have tried a s-video cable and was able to get a very grainy black and white image on the TV but that is the closest I have come to image on the Panasonic. No amount of setting changes gets the picture to improve.  Another note, I cannot get the video card to recognize the TV through Nvidia's software.

This sounds like the TV is not compatible at all to the display card in the computer.

Look in the TV's user book and see what the resolution is. It is also very important that the field or refresh rate is matched. Set the computer's display card to match exactly to the native mode of the TV set. This is for the resolution and the refresh rate.

Try the TV directly to the computer with the DVI to HDMI adabtor alone with no other monitor bridged in. If it works, then connect the computer monitor back up to share the feed. If the TV goes back out then you know that there is a conflict between the devices.

There is a way to do monitor sharing and each having different specs. There would be the need for an active monitor splitter with independent mode settings for each of the outputs. This is terribly expensive for home use.

In the past I have had problems with conversions between DVI and HDMI. There are a lot of complexities in the protocol for this and not every type of TV or monitor works well with this.

I cannot get sound when using an HDMI with my Panasonic Viera TC-L32X2 LCD. I have tried three different HDMI cables, I'm highly confident that is not the problem. My cable provider had to override...

Is this TV new or new to you? I suggest you check two parts of the Audio > Advanced Audio menu. First check if the TV speakers are set to on. Next check the HDMI audio setting. This should be set to Digital. (There is an analog option that works with DVI to HDMI cables and older HDMI cables that aren't fully HDMI compliant. For these situations, you connect an audio cable between the cable box and TV. I believe your audio cable needs to have a 3.5 MM (M) end at the TV and plugs in at the computer audio input.)

Since your cable provider turned off the HDCP (high definition copy protection), it's possible that the cable box is treating the cable as being incapable of carrying the audio. Try using the Analog audio option, described above. You may want to check if your cables are fully-compliant with the HDMI specification (and HDCP). Then get the HDCP enabled in the cable box. Similarly, check the audio output settings for the cable box. (If you can access the Settings for the cable box without a service call, you should look at the Audio and Display settings. My cable box has Display options for HDMI versus DVI cables, as well as a choice for Digital Audio for the HDMI option in the Display sub-menu.)

I hope these ideas help. If you need more information, add a comment with the settings for your Audio and Display settings. The manual is available on the TC-L32X2 support page, http://shop.panasonic.com/support-only/TC-L32X2.html . The direct link to the manual is currently ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/television/om/tc-l32x2_en_om.pdf . See page 28 for the Audio menu options. Since you tried three cables, I think the odds of all three being bad is slim.

We have a panasonic 32"inch lcd tv.we want to

hdmi Ports Qty 3 port(s) PC Interface VGA (HD-15) HDCP Compatible Yes

I read your tv has 3 hdmi ports and a PC input.

if your pc has hdmi out - the you use a hdmi cable from the pc to the tv on one of the hdmi inputs.

if your pc has a 15pin vga cable you can unplug from your PC monitor (or go buy a VGA cable if you want to keep one on the tv and one on your pc monitor - or if you are using a laptop).

when you unplug the computer from the monitor .. check the pins - should look to be about 15 pins in the connector. it that will plug into the tv- then you are using a vga cable. if it will not plug into the tv pc input .. don't force it. It could be a dvi connector . .take the cable off the PC and to radio shack and they can fix you up (you need a dvi to vga cable - not likely, but possible)

I always turn off a pc before disconnecting monitors - and plug into the other display before turning the pc back on.

Good luck.
Bill.
