HDMI CABLE FROM HELL

[poopy]

I recenlty bought a 20 foot hdmi cable to connect my PC to my TV. As soon as i connected the cable my monitor went black and turned on again with no icons and no mouse cursor, and my Tv was suddenly my primary display.

i tried switching my primary display from my tv to my monitor but the option is greyed out. Removing the hdmi cable made my monitor my primary display again but left my monitor's display extremely blurry and fuzzy (almost unusable). I tried nvidias settings and windows settings but i still cant switch my monitor to my primary display and my monitor's display still stays fuzzy and blurry even after i remove the hdmi cable!!!  Plz help

 

 

PS

i connected the hdmi to my graphics card's hdmi port along with my monitor(HP 2311x) 

 

first 2 pictures are from 'dullicate' option, my monitors display gets rlly big and it looks like i brought put my resolution down but i didnt.

last 2 pictures are when i put 'extend' option, my tv goes without icons and cursor but my monitor still works fine.

I read "200 ft." by mistake and thought "well there's your problem"

 

It sounds like the resolution of your monitor changed... Even if you didn't change it manually, the resolution may still have changed automatically to match the TV. Are you sure the resolution is set to the native resolution of your monitor?

Try unplugging your main display from power for a minute to do a hard reset.
