i had this issue with my new tv as well. Im not sure what type of tv you have but if it is possible change the refresh rate on your tv to 60mhz, 99% of graphics cards dont even use the 120 anyways. Also, set your resolution lower. Your computer may be trying to force to the TVS resolution. Set a default resolution on your computer.

if all else fails.. are you under the correct HDMI input?

you can do a quick test as well, power down your pc plug in the hdmi then turn your pc on. Best case is that your screen is black but glowing and the input boxes or "not connected" boxes disappear.

1440x900 is the base resolution. That would be 720P. Any HD display should support it. As mikey said, start at 60 hertz, scale up from there. Scale with the graphics card. After, set up secondary display with horner values. Base these settings from the PC first. Sometimes it takes some tinkering, other times it's PNP.

No there is an aspect ratio difference between monitors and TVs. A tv should not be told to display 1440x900.

Resolutions for TV is 1280x720 and 1920x1080.

Also most tvs have overscan so you may need to build a custom resolution in order not to have stuff get cut off or set your tv zoom mode out a bit.

Ahh that's right. 16x9 16x10.

srsly dude just try different HDMI cables I had THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM!

Did you check the printer cable though? Really though, you should get some type of signal at some point. Like Carm said, use a different cable.
