This confused me when I first got this tv. The inputs (HDMI, CVI, etc.) are more like channels. Go to channel 2 and the keep flipping down the channels. You will see HDMI just below channel 2.

Sony tv no picture on screen

Hello, You probably hit the input button by mistake. If your using cable TV your input setting will depend on how the TV is connected. If your using an HDMI cable check to see what number HDMI the cable is plugging into on the back of your tv and then set the input button to the same port number. If your tv is connected with RCA cables (red,blue,green) Then hit the input to AV.

CONNECT PC TO TV

If you're TV has a vga or hdmi port then just hook them up with one of those. For vga make sure you select vga input in the tv's menu. For hdmi select the proper hdmi input in the tv input menu. You of course will need a vga cable or an hdmi cable and make sure the desktop has an hdmi port first if you go that route. If not you'll have to buy an hdmi addon card.

Hi,
This model has 4 HDMI inputs, do you get same problem in each HDMI input?
Did you checked HDMI input with any other video source like dvd player or PS3 etc instead of cable box?
Below are few helpful tips to connect HDMI input..
1. Ensure that your HDMI cable is certified.
2. Press SOURCE on the remote control to switch to another source and then switch back to the HDMI source.
3. Reset the accessory device and the TV.
• Turn on the TV
• Select the HDMI channel
• Turn on the accessory device
4. While the TV and the accessory device are powered on, unplug either end of the HDMI cable and then reinsert the cable.
Try above options and if tv still does not show picture of any video source through HDMI then it seems problem of HDMI processor located on main board, visual check is needed by qualified tech or call Philips if tv is under warranty.
Hope these info will help you.
Thanks.
