Connecting LG IPS237L-BN Monitor to XFX Radeon7970 - HDMI & D-Sub Connection Issues

Hello!
I have such a problem, I bought a new monitor, because I could not set fullHD on the old one, and here the big problem started. The new acquisition is the LG IPS237L-BN which has 2 HDMI inputs and 1 d-sub, I connected it with an HDMI cable to the card (xfx radeon7970), but the computer does not see the monitor at all, I connected the other to the d-sub to bury in the settings and on it didn't work, because as if it was not connected, the monitor sees that the plug is connected, because it does not crash a message to connect it, I even connected it to the home theater and it works without a problem, it may be the fault of the drivers, system, graphics card or maybe some settings that I have no clue of. I am asking for help, because I do not smile to leave such a set under d-sub -_-

I checked under the laptop, the monitor works after loading the system.

Graphics card drivers installed ?.
Changed signal source ?.
The card worked before, was the image displayed on the old monitor ?.
Connect the computer to the TV and check. If it starts, change the resolution to 800x600, then connect the monitor and let me know.

Provide complete hardware configuration.

The card worked and works all the time under the d-sub, actually via the dvi / d-sub adapter.
Maybe I have some inappropriate drivers that only work on vga. Can you change somewhere in the settings what output should the image go to? I have not noticed anything like this anywhere ...

xfx radeon 7970 3gb
intel core i5 3470 3.20GHz
windows 7 64-bit
goodram 8gb 1333MHz
Asrock p67 pro3

The tv computer also does not see the image at all, on tv, this monitor works under the d-sub input, both but I would prefer to have it under hdmi for better image quality.

Try a DVI-HDMI adapter and check.

It is the same, the monitor sees that it is connected, but there is no picture, as soon as I get mad, I will sell it all on the Allegro for 2,000 and for 2,000 I will buy such that it will work because it was all too expensive; / My hands are already falling out of it everything, the hdmi output in this card is probably a dummy, in general this card only supports vga because it was too expensive for a digital image; /

I do not know much about these novelties, but I also had a similar problem with my equipment.
You have to make sure that the "output" of the signal from the computer is to the socket where the TV is connected, and the TV must have the "input" signal set by the same connection.

Yes, but where to set the signal output on the computer? In TV, I had 100% set up where I had the cable connected, i.e. HDMI3, the monitor should catch it without any problems because only 1 cable is plugged into it, so it automatically sets the input and goes into sleep mode.

You should find access through the "control panel" and select "performance & maintenance" and select "administrator tools" or whatever it is called in Polish.
You will have a lot of options to look for there. :-)

It would be good if some of the friends who know windows7 better would lead you deeper.
I still use windows XP.

And try to set the resolution of 800x600 on the old monitor and then connect the new one.

I have already tried with the resolution, with the settings, with everything .. I wonder why there is the same symptom by using the dvi / hdmi adapter as with dvi / d-sub it works only it is annoying that when I turn off the computer, the monitor behaves as if not was connected. All these technologies today are worth nothing. Out of curiosity, I will take out the old computer and use a dvi / hdmi adapter on it

I just did a test with a 2003 computer and guess if dvi / hdmi works on the old one. It works without any problem, I do not know what it can be, my hands are falling, no ideas, the card is broken or the dog, I have no idea what to do with this scrap. On the old computer, not only the card is released, there are also drivers from mx 400 to radeon 9550 and it can fire and here for the Chinese God neither so nor so; /

I remember something once with the socket settings that they could work in one direction, but this is probably the past and most of the new computers have sockets that work in 2 directions without setting, especially HDMI

Well, but the same socket uses dvi / d-sub and dvi / hdmi and d-sub works and hdmi does not want to, if one works, it should flicker and the other, that's sick and that's it ..

If you have a DVD in your computer, try to play a movie.
Is this card the original from this computer, or you added-changed?

The computer is new, it still smells of Chinese, I only have a month of it. The monitor is in sleep mode all the time, I don't know anymore, I flew all the settings, I made all possible combinations, I wonder if I should sell this machine sometimes, pc for so much money and nothing worth junk anyway .. I would have bought a cash for PLN 1500 and there would probably be no problem.

You should have instructions for it, read it carefully, especially about HDMI, and if it doesn't work as described in the manual, make a warranty return.
Well, unless you bought on Aledrogo or something similar.

Have you looked in the monitor menu what input is set? Set to AUTO or HDMI.

As I said, the monitor automatically selects the input because he sees it that it is connected, especially since it works without any problems under the home theater, laptop and 10-year-old computer, the fault is on the computer's side, you know for sure. I give up and I wonder if I should just sell this computer to hell and have a peace of mind.

Try a different graphics card, if possible.

Well, this can be bad .. So I wonder .. Could it be the fault of the power supply? I do not know, maybe it is too weak and the card can only send an analog signal to save money. The power supply is 530w

Mark? Model?

It has nothing to do with the other. Either the card works or it doesn't.

Maybe it is from scratch because I don't see the answer anywhere.
What kind of graphics drivers do you have installed?

Before I wrote this topic, I was looking for an answer for 3 days and nothing
The drivers I have are AMD Catalyst 12.1
But I do not think that the fault of the drivers is because, as I wrote before, I connected the monitor to the old pc in which I have gf mx 4000 drivers and a damaged radeon 9550 card inserted in it and it works without a problem. I will replace the power supply anyway because I know that it is too weak for this computer and if it does not help, I take the computer and monitor and go to my friend to replace the card, if I get it on another card, then this one will have to be advertised.

Give new reins and see if anything has improved, because version 12.1 is very old.

I installed 13.4 and still nothing .. A lot of junk and that's it.
I can bear the fact that it goes through the d-sub, but it pisses me off that I have to turn on the monitor every time, because after turning off the computer, it does not see the cable and after a while it will turn itself off.

I wanted to make sure you have Catalyst
Let's check something like this:
1. Connect the old monitor to the D-SUB
2. Turn on the computer
3. After showing the desktop, connect the new monitor via HDMI
4. Set some desktop background
5. Launch Catalyst
6. Desktop management section -> Creating and managing desktops.

A. Does Catalyst detect two monitors connected? It may not be detected automatically for the rule, use the "Detect screens" button.
B. If it detects a new monitor on the HDMI cable, does the new monitor show an image, the desktop background?

As a rule, the card itself should detect which socket the monitor is connected to and provide the signal there from the moment the computer is started.

Well, the thing is that he does not see the hdmi monitor at all, I have used the screen detection function hundreds of times and nothing. The card simply sends only the analog signal and for nothing, neither under the dvi nor via the hdmi is able to send a digital signal and why I do not know it.

I have exactly the same graphics card. For the first 2 days of use, I also torn my hair out.

I was guilty of the Chinese DVI cable (the laptop normally sent the image to the monitor also LG, while the PC did not see the monitor). Switching to a better quality cable solved the problem.

Is the card well connected to the power supply? 6 and 8 pin?

In DVI you have additional analog pins, so the image works after dsub

Only you write about the dvi cable and I write about hdmi and in addition I tried on 3 hdmi cables and there was no effect. Laptop, home theater and old computer works without any problems and this one doesn't want anything in the world .. What drivers do you have?
