Many video cards require settings changes to change the output type. Check in Control Panel to see if your video card has special drivers (its own icon) and if so look through the settings there. If not, try Display Settings and look at the monitors listed.

When you connect the Sony TV to the HDMI? And 'gets listed' is kind of vague. Where does it get listed? What does it say, exactly?

In the windows display settings along with my monitor is the Sony TV listed. It's bizarre because the TV does not detect any input in the HDMI settings.

The TV probably won't so anything until there is a signal being sent, which isn't happening now. Click on the Sony TV that is listed and you should get some options about extending the desktop or something. Try that and see if it starts to work.

Ok, when I extended the desktop, changes automatically got reversed in a few seconds.

But it did work? The TV turned on?
Windows has a built in safety - if you don't click on the box that pops up, asking if you want to keep changes, it reverts to how it was. That way if you do something that causes no picture (and there's no way to see the box) it goes back to where it was, so you can see again.

Hmm.. sounds like the computer tried to change things over to the TV, but the TV didn't do anything. Maybe, once the change is made at the PC, you need to change something on the TV as well? Like select the HDMI for input?

That I obviously did.

So, on the PC, you selected the TV. Then, once the screen changed you went to the TV and selected the HDMI for input? Before it switched back on the PC?
Not sure why you say that you 'obviously did' that. We have no way of knowing what you did or didn't do. And what may be obvious to you may not be so obvious to us.

Lol!
If I am plugging HDMI, I would OBVIOUSLY switch my mode. Isn't it obvious?

I have people call me to tell me their computers aren't making sound. My first question is always, are your speakers turned on. You'd be surprised how many times the answer is something like "Oh, I didn't know they could be turned off."
So no, it isn't obvious.

Problem solved! It was a hardware issue. I am getting output from the motherboard.
