Hmm well since the HDMI 1.4 standard is capable of delivering an Ethernet connection between 2 devices I thought it was possible, I just wasn't sure whether GPU > TV would work

I don't believe it will work... It's a nice idea though!   http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/hdmi_1_4/hec.aspx

I'm redoing my room and I've decided to connect my GPU to my TV.

 

Simple question, will connecting my Graphics card to my TV over HDMI 1.4 give my TV an internet connection?

 

GPU: Asus GTX 780 with HDMI 1.4 connector

Cable is HDMI 1.4a with ethernet(100Mbps)

TV; as of now I don't have a smart TV yet when I do get one it'll have HDMI 1.4a/2.0 for sure

No, I don't think so.

No, where does your graphics card get an internet connection from ...in the first place to be able to use it on your TV? 

It won't work.

Thx that 2nd picture makes it quite clear. Guess I'll have to route an extra ethernet cable ;P
