If the cable and pc work every time on the 22" - then you can eliminate them from being the problem.

That leaves the 57" device. But where?

You said it detects the input on them - but doesn't display. So the physical plugs are good - the chances of all three crapping out at the same time is small enough we can drop that idea.

So the question is - where is the one point of failure? I don't know alot about tv's - but my guess here is that all three inputs likely use the same processor chip or board for controlling / decoding purposes. IF that is the case - then the chip / control board is likely the problem.

Again - this is speculation - but its the only thing I can see that makes sense given the description.
That is one of my fears.

Thought there is the handshake issue that has seemingly become common place... I have my fingers crossed that, that is the issue.
in turn I have bought a new cable and made some changes to my PC we will see what happens when I get home.
