Question My Samsung TV not detected when connected to PC

[DeadlyTitan]

I Got a 52" Samsung TV that i am trying to connect with my main Gaming Rig using a HDMI cable but the thing is not getting detected. I already have a second display connected to my RIG using HDMI which is my old Asus 1080p monitor that is getting detected fine and working, however the TV is not even detected. Nothing in display settings or in the Nvidia Control panel. I've tried unplugging all the displays and connecting them again and restarting the PC. All the drivers are up to date and am using Windows 10 latest build.

The thing is neither the TV nor the cable nor the ports are faulty cause i tried switching around ports and the cable and they all worked just fine and i connected the TV to my second gaming RIG and it got detected just fine and was working, I've even connected the TV to my laptop using the HDMI and it worked just fine. I am thinking its a problem with Windows 10. I really want to connect my TV to my main gaming rig for some relaxed couch gaming in the evenings.

Yes i tried connecting just the TV to the system while unplugging the extra monitors and the same problem, it just keeps saying No signal. Any help regarding this issue is greatly appreciated.

System specs -

1. GPU - GTX 1080 Ti
2. CPU - i7 8700
3. Ram - 2 x 16 GB @ 3200Mhz
4. Main Display - Acer Predator 1440p @ 165hz Gsync
5. Secondary Display - My old Asus 1080p Monitor

Maybe you need an EDID HDMI blocker / spoofer dongle. They make them, for this sort of issue.

1. Disconnect all HDMI sources from the inputs.
2. Unplug the power from TV/LCD for 10 minutes.
3. Plug the TV/LCD back in.
4. Connect the HDMI cable one device at a time.
5. Turn on the device (ex. PS3).
6. Repeat steps 4-5 for each HDMI port.

I think I had this problem when I purchase a new TV to use as a PC monitor before, I just return the TV! LOL!

OP, did you ever this resolved? I have two 40" Samsung 4K TV's connected to a docking station for my HP work laptop. Occasionally, I get a NO SIGNAL error on one them when I boot up. I have to switch the input to TV (haven't tried any other Inputs) and then when I switch back to the one with that the laptop is connected to, it starts working again.

well you need to check the hdmi cable and your pc and hdtv port.

I found I had problem once where hdmi port on my 1080p ti was faulty and using a dp to hdmi connector work and where I use 4k hdtvs I get a adapter that can handle the 4k 6gz connection.
