Great thoughts, thanks.
When I said "video", I meant the video feed from the PC. With subsequent restarts, I see Windows at various stages, the typical logo, the desktop, splash etc. Also if I tap del/F2, the display shows BIOS. All this for 1 second only. The video driver incompatible was my thought too, but at the time there was no way to check the configuration settings.
Safe mode was one thing I didn't try. Very good thought. Mmmm... can't remember which F key, F8 or F10... haven't used safe mode for a while.
Plan ATM is to take a regular monitor on Thurs.
Re does TV play on its' own. Not I can find so far. I've just downloaded a manual and are wading through. There's a lot to digest. I do need to verify the model number. Source is NZ Panasonic website, 2013 PDF.
There's no VGA option on the graphics card, only DVI and HDMI. No on board graphics either, if I understand the ports correctly.
A good sign is the TV is displaying some graphics so it's not totally dead. It does show "16:9" before it shows a 1 second view of Windows. It's tantalizing isn't it...
Lucky I like a puzzle. Got some good leads to follow now. Thanks!
