Need help with new optoma hd33
Ok so I have my computer (windows 7 64bit newest nvidia drivers) hooked up to my projector via hdmi cable (gtx 480 graphics card) but my computer doesnt recognize that the projector is plugged in. It will not allow me to display a computer image under the nvidia control panel. any help would be appreciated Thanks

I do wanna mention that I did the change out of the acer.inf file that was listed on here before. Does that have anything to do with my problems?

Hey I have an optima33 hooked to 2 SLI nvidia gtx 560 with windows 7 64 ultimate. It is connected through and hdmi to minihdmi adapter to the minihdmi conection on the video card. Only problem I had with it was that the hdmi cord I bought for it was rated for 1080p 3d, but not at that length (50ft)even though it said it was. I had to do some research on amazon to find one that actually does what it says it does and replaced the faulty one with that brand. Otherwise I would have had to buy A very expensive high end cable to get it to work at that length. The original faulty one I purchased did connect though just had obvious video issues.

Otherwise it was all plug and play no issue. In my research I found many instances of people complaining about cheap HDMI cords not functioning very well or at all. Bad soldering and other issues. I would check that first

Do you have your Nvidia emitter plugged in? In order for 3DTV Play to work, the emitter needs to be plugged in at all times for the free version.

You can use Monitor Asset Manager to see what the registry active EDID is.

On long runs like that you need a signal booster/amplifier, the problem is with the inherent resistance of copper.So yes, a cheap cable will not cut it. But even the best cable can not escape the laws of physics.

I am not sure what you are saying. Are you saying that the inexpensive 50 foot hdmi cable that I purchased is not working? Because I am using it right now and it is working flawlessly. What does this have to do with the OP's post?

I think my edit will have resolved the confusion
