I would try 1280x720 - thats standard 720p and the TV should definitely be able to output at that. Try this first.

The max resolution could well be 1366x768 though, thats a common max resolution for 720p sets, but you would only really use it over VGA or DVI, not HDMI

Thanks for the help, i think its my TV unable to accept a PC connection. My TV only accepts HDMI and my PC outputs DVI.

get an HDMI to DVI Cable. Had the same problem and this works a treat.

Have you tried to Google for the manual? It should be able to give you details on what your tv will accept. I would start by setting a very low res, 640x480 & seeing what happens.

My DVI to HDMI cable worked a treat for my 8600 GTS to my old 720p RPTV.

I tryed the DVI - HDMI .. But my TV does not have a PC channel.. and i went though all the AV channels.. nothing

You shouldn't need a PC channel, as the HDMI source should pick up the cable. What is your refresh rate set at? It could be too high for your TV to accept.

I have a smaller 19" Bush that I'm using a DVI to HDMI converter with no problem. It also has a VGA connector (the PC channel that you mention) that never worked well. However I just plug the hdmi cable in - switch the TV to HDMI 1 (I've got two HDMI ports) - then switch on the second monitor using my ATI driver control panel. The Nvidia control panel should behave in a similar way. I found once I enabled the second output it detected the TV correct max resolution/refresh rate and it just worked.

Just plug it in to your HDMI port on the tv and it should work fine.
