No Signal on third monitor (LG TV)
Hello,
I have an A/V question. I just mounted 5 LG TV's in a few offices. I terminated each end to a HDMI keystone, and the length of the HDMI run is approx. 15 - 20 ft. I'm connecting the PCs to the TVs as a third monitor. Of the 5, two are working without an issue, but i'm having issues with the other three. The OS and the graphics card is detecting the TV as a third display, but after choosing the correct input on the TV, it's still displaying "no signal". This is the case for all of the displays that aren't working.
Any advice or guidance will be helpful!

Specs of the ALL PC's and ALL the monitors?
Obviously, if they're ALL the same, it's probably the LG TV (which you could have tested by swapping the screen on a working combo, where the screen suddenly fails)
If it's all mixed up with various types and specs, it could be that you're using too high a resolution for the TV to handle it (test it by lowering it).
Saying that it's working on the laptop, therefore the TV is fine, is still not 100% correct. Still need to know the resolution of the laptop vs PC.

It's mixed up, i have three Lenovo PCs and two Dell Pcs. All the TVs are LG 55UU340C devices. I'll provide the specs in a later email. As of now, one Lenovo works, and one Dell works. The setup is identical from the TV to the PC:
4' HDMI -> HDMI wall plate -> 20' HDMI cable -> HDMI wall plate
DisplayPort to HDMI adapter -> HDMI wall plate
4' HDMI -> HDMI wall plate -> 20' HDMI cable -> HDMI wall plate
DisplayPort to HDMI adapter -> HDMI wall plate

in regards to the resolution, i'm setting the resolution to 1920 x 1080 on both devices.
not all video cards support 3 monitors ie. 3 @ 1080p resolution.
Walk around with another laptop and confirm that the cable and tv connection work. Assuming that the cable and TV work then for those computers that don't try a USB2HDMI adapter

That's a fairly long run for HDMI. It does not help that the signal is going through two wall plates.
Bring the afflicted TVs into the same room as the computer that is feeding them, and attach them to the computer directly. If they work in that configuration then there's a problem with the wiring.

Operating Systems
Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
