Trying to get the DVI out of my ATI 9000 AIW to the HDMI of my Samsung HLR5067wx

Hi. My TV is a Samsung HLR5067wx. (720p with VGA and HDMI inputs)

I have been outputting the DVI of my video card with a DVI to VGA adapter and have been sending it to the VGA input of the Samsung HLR5067wx.

I was thinking I could get an improvement by using a DVI to HDMI cable and sending the DVI output of the ATI 9000 AIW to the HDMI instead of the VGA input on the TV.

I plugged in the cable and I get the 'no signal or weak signal' message on the TV. I plugged it back in using the VGA method and the PC was definitely sending video...

Interestingly enough, when I unplug the DVI to HDMI cable from the PC, and leave it plugged into the TV, it skips that input when I cycle though. When I plug it into the PC again, it gives me the 'no signal or weak signal'; so it seems like something's making it to the TV.

Is there something that I should be doing on the PC side to make it send video in a way that my TV's going to like on the HDMI input??? I'm at a loss.

Where would I set the resolution that I'm sending? I would have to imagine that it's somewhere in the video card display settings, but haven't been able to find it...

Oh! That makes perfect sense!!! 720p = vertical lines of resolution.

1280x720 = 1280 wide by 720 tall. Sometimes I miss the obvious!

Okay, I made sure that the video card is putting out 1280 x 720; and I still get "no signal or weak signal" when I connect the DVI to HDMI cable from the PC to the DLP.

But the HDMI input does show up as an option on the TV. (whereas when I unplug the HDMI cable, it bypasses it when cycling through inputs).

On the display settings, it's showing my "monitor" as a Samsung DLP even... I'd think it'd work.

Any further thoughts or things to try?
