I think I posted about this ages ago and got nowhere, however I can kinda go into a little more about it now.
I have a Panasonic 50PZ70 TV, 1080p, HDMi in etc etc.
PC motherboard is an Asus P5QL-VM.
Motherboard has HDMi out and is supposed to be able to handle 1080p (1920x1080) but if I boot up the PC with the TV connected to the PC, it fails at boot and hangs.
I have an HDMi splitter connected to prevent this and turn it to the opposite input on it to have the PC boot up as it's now "not" connected.
Once the PC is up and running, I can re-enable the TV input and it detects the device, but tells me the device is not supported in Windows.
If I scale it back to 720p the TV will display and everything works for a bit. I could handle my PC stuff at 720p if it came to it but it's annoying to have to keep disabling and re-enabling the secondary unit (including in Windows as I need to keep doing the 2nd display, extended desktop every time)
The other problem I find is that even ON the 720p settings, the sound seems to drop out every so often (around 10 to 15 minutes) for a second or so. Checked the files and the sound on them is fine, as they are if played via another medium (PS3, DVD player etc)
So... anyone have any ideas? Asus were as much use as a chocolate watch in a heatwave and I'm thinking there's a hardware conflict between these two models that I'll never be able to resolve... which is a right pain as I only bought this motherboard due to the HDMi support and I already had to compromise on my KVM switch

A similar (maybe!) problem and solution here: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?id=20100112175422765&board_id=1&model=P5QL-VM+EPU&page=1&SLanguage=en-us
mentions G41 drivers?

My chipset is the G43/45 so drivers updated for that.
Add in the BIOS drivers also updated.
Along with every other driver I could see that was possibly out of date.
Result is exactly the same, works on 720p settings, doesn't work on 1080p, won't boot and needs to get up and running before enabling the TV
Actually, the only difference is now that when I turn on the TV it makes the TV the primary device and puts the monitor on standby, so I get no picture at all!
Luckily I spotted the hotkey to re-enable the monitor to get past that.
Audio drop out is still happening too Think I might just bite the bullet and get a new mobo and try to punt this one.
(Oh, and forgot to say, it detects the TV settings and lists it as 1920x1080 but then beside it states "TV settings not supported")

*update*
Got it working now at 1920x1080 by changing it to 24Htz.
Still won't run through the boot sequence and still has the audio drop out but that seems to be only happing with VLC so if anyone has any other media players they'd recommend for MKVs then feel free to recommend away!
Will try a few more 1080p files and see if it works ok on the other stuff but for now, it's a definite improvement.

I still find media player classic to be the best all rounder, ( google klite codec pack) & it tends to use less resources than VLC
