So I recently got a 144Hz. monitor after realized my old 60Hz. was pretty much dead. I decided to keep my T.V. as my second display since A) I've had a good frame rate with two active displays for a while now, and B) Both displays would be 1920x1080.

I started up my computer today and switched my T.V. over to it's HDMI channel and now it will be detected by the T.V. as working (1920x1080 @ 60Hz.) and shows up as an active display in Windows, but my cursor will not go over to the T.V. and the T.V. is completely black. I know the T.V. is working fine because it displays television.

Okay, so I was fooling with various settings for my displays and I wondered if my T.V. could still output sound. So I tested the T.V.'s sound with the little Windows chime and the display popped right up. I don't get how that worked, but it did.
