    Hello all,
    Yesterday I bought a new HP w2207h 22" monitor, it has both VGA and HDMI ports on it. My vid card is a SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 2600XT 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express, and has 2 DVI ports. The card came with a DVI-to-HDMI adapter and says it supports HDMI on the box. The problem im having is that when i have the monitor connected through HDMI I cant get a picture unless the resolution is set at 800x600 or lower. As soon as i go to change it to anything higher the screen goes black and randomly flickers. Ive tried updating with the newest ATI drivers (standalone and Castalyst Control Center ones), i even tried installing the drivers from the HP CD that came with the monitor. The OS is Win XP Pro. The rest of the PC is only 5 months old which i custom built with high end parts.

    The only thing i can think of is that its your monitor...because i have a HDMI monitor and it works fine i built my own computer so i would take it back and get another one.

    hmmmm, it could be your adapter. I would try using one of these :

    I use one of these and dont have a problem.
    Another way to check is to get another adapter (return yours for another or somethin) and check and see if it was that particular brand, or model or a defect. you never know with things.
