   HDMI may require that the display you're outputting to be the only active display. This is due to the inbuilt copyright protection in HDMI. Such issue's also happen with computers with blu-ray drives built in.

   Yeah if the monitor is not HDCP compliant then there's nothing that can be done. It's the copy protection built into the high-definition formats.

   Some devices don't support computer resolutions/rates over HDMI and expect only video resolutions/rates.

   If you can set your graphics adapter to "HDTV mode" then it might play better with your TV.
