Oculus Rift display black with MSI GT83VR notebook

[HairyCelt]

Hi - I'm getting sound but no display when connecting my new Rift to the HDMI port at the rear of my MSI GT83VR notebook. It's running dual GTX980 graphics cards in SLI - the Oculus app stated that it meets or exceeds the minimum requirements to use the Rift. The light in the headset is amber.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

What was the issue is it with the oculus device or the computer? Cord issue? Thanks for your help!

Its the laptop something with the hdmi not pushing enough information far enough.

And this device you mentioned earlier helped fix this permanently correct?
