The Epson manual (Pg 22, See link) says you must have the computer connected and turned on but might still not be able to see an image on an LCD monitor. It says you need to use a multisync monitor and make sure the computer is set to a refresh rate of 65 Hz or higher. This implies the expectation is that you will use a LCD monitor, not a flatpanel TV. That said, some flatpanels can act as computer monitors if you use the right input and settings. I suggest, verifying the refresh rate of the computer, checking you have the output connected to the right input on the TV and make sure the menu settings are correct to allow the TV to be used as a computer monitor. The quickest way to check the latter is to connect the computer direct to the TV. If you get a picture then try putting the projector in the chain, but if not you either can't use the TV that way or still don't have the correct settings. Hope that helps.
