Thanks chris.

I just tried the DVI-HDMI lead on a Sony LCD tv we have, says the same "out of range" message as the cheapo little one.

not working through DVI-vga connector either!

WTF. I seem to have the most rotten luck!

EDIT:
something must be working though if it says "out of range" through hdmi though, otherwise it'd just say nothing like there's nothing plugged in.

Question: The DVI-HDMI lead i'm using is a really expensive one for DVI-D... it has all pins on the connector (unlike my DVI-VGA cable that has a dozen or so pins) . you don't suppose it's simply a matter of the choice of DVI-hdmi cable do you? do i need a simple passthrough rather than these expensive 30 quid(ish) do-hickeys with all the gold trimmings?
