HDMI connection problems.

[Pedrolas]

Hello friends:
When I connect the computer to the TV 42PFL7655H/12 with an HDMI cable of 5 meters, the computer does not detect the TV.
Why?
Best Regards

Hi,

does it work with another cable? Does the same cable work on another TV?

Hello Toengel:
When I use a HDMI cable 1.5 meters if the computer detects the TV.
The problem is that the TV must be located 5 meters.

Hi,

then you should think about buying a better HDMI cable... (as you said it works with 1.5 meter).

The HDMI cable must have special characteristics?

Hi,

it should work :-) Go to a shop, ask for a 5 meter one and try the cable in the shop.

The problem is that it is a desktop ....

Hi,

do you have a Blu-ray-Player or PS3 or any other HDMI-video-devices? If yes, test your actual 5-m-cable with these devices.
