LC32OEM9 says Not Supported Format on HDMI Input. It worked when we first hooked up the TV. Then it started working sporadically now it very very rarely works and when it does it only works for maybe 15 seconds then cuts back out again. Most of the time we have to watch our tv on the regular cable input where the quality is standard. When the HDMI input was working the picture and sound were great. Now I feel like there's no point to having this tv. Does anyone know why it would say Not Supported Format for HDMI? Is it the HDMI cable? Could it have gone bad already? Could it be something with my Cable (Comcast) DVR box? Or did something happen with the TV? I've checked and rechecked all the cable connections and everything looks tight and in the proper place but maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for any help!

Try right-clicking on your desktop while tv is plugged in and select screen resolution, that should open the properties window that will allow you to activate or change resolutions for the tv or detect it. Make sure that the tv is enabled and if necessary choose to extend your desktop to it.

Hmmm, interesting a tv with hdmi that does not recognise the format. Check the player on another tv first to make sure it is working correctly. If it is then check the hdmi settings on the tv in question to make sure that all settings for hdmi or the same as the tv it works on.

Unless the tv has a VGA input, or the laptop has a HDMI output, I am afraid you are going through too many conversions to make this work.

The DVD player is most likely outputting at 1080p, where as the TV can only input at 720p. What you can do is hook your dvd player up to another TV, and scale back the output from 1080p to 720p, then try it on your TV again.

I would suggest you check if your PS3 is set up on going through the HDMI Cable.On your PS3's XMB scroll to settings -> Display Settings -> ANd from there go down to the one that says "Y Pb/Cb Pr/Cr Super-White (HDMI)" and hit X and select the option Yes... That sets the PS3 displaying through the HDMI
If you are already have done that I'm pretty sure you know you have to change the Input on your TV to HDMI... Take your remote and hit Input -> Scroll down to HDMI on the Input Source menu and hit Enter when you get to HDMI
If the AV on your PS3 works and not your HDMI sounds like Display Settings issue...
If you have done all that, that is strange if it still doesn't work.
There are some people that are having problems with the AV Cable with the PS3, I tried this and it really does work. I switched from HDMI on one tv to a AV Cable on another and when I did that neither TV would display content from my tv. The fix for this is resetting your PS3, like on a iDevice you hold the home button and lock button, for the PS3 you hold the Power off button and the Eject button for around 10 seconds. This resets your PS3 into default video settings. Until it Turns on, Beeps, and Turns off. This should work.

You may have to go into the TV setup menu and change a setting for Sound (or Audio) that tells the TV which input to use (HDMI or component) for sound. Usually the HDMI connection will work automatically but if you connect cables to Audio L/R that may override the HDMI sound input.

Try using another AV cable (like a normal composite cable) and try going through your PS3 setup. It may be that it is trying to go to 1080p or something because it is the HDMI, which wouldn't work on yours I bet. See if you can disable the higher resolutions and try the HDMI again to see if you can get the 720p to work. Hope this helps!

So download the driver.
