Issue with receiver pretending to be a display.

Alright.

So, I have my Receiver hooked up to my PC. Been this way for months, previously I used a DVI to HJDMI adapter and it got rid of the issues I had with my computer detecting the Receiver as a Display. It Extended my desktop, so basically, my mouse / or whatever I am doing, goes off into no mans land. It's very unacceptable in gaming, or just most anything. I can lose my mouse for awhile.

But now the problem is back again; because I have a new Monitor, and it's DVI-D Dual Link..and sadly there is no DVI-D Dual Link to HDMI connectors or wires.

Plenty of sites, such as Amazon claim to have them. But all reviews state they are Single Link.

This is unacceptable, as well, my monitor is 1440p and without a Scalar. So if I use Single Link, I am limited to 1080p and it doesn't look good because my GPU is doing the scaling.



I've tried the "Clone my desktop" bit, doesn't help. I've tried the "Multiple Display" bit, it works but limits me to blurry 1080p.

I've tried turning it off...and that removes it...and the sound also. I am at a loss.

What can I do here? The annoying part is HDMI is SUPPOSED to be able to carry 2560 x 1440p, according to technical specifications, 1.3 could, and my monitor, and my Receiver are 1.4a , yet googling shows that all monitors for some reason internally limit this to 1920 x 1200 / 1080. Bandwidth issues, I don't know.

But it's a rather frustrating situation - Can anyone think of a solution?

Thanks.
