From the specification it is clear that this Video card has the support for the Connectivity with the HD HDMI enabled devices because this video card also has the HDMI port for the connectivity purpose with the High definition devices. This hardware or the Video card is compatible with the Windows Vista operating system and also has the support for the Windows 7 Operating system. If you are using any other operating system in your computer from these two then it is the Software compatibility issue of the video card with the operating system of the computer.

Every hardware has the software to operate its functionality, I am sure you have also installed the software for this Sapphire Radeon HD5850 video card in your computer system. Then also you are not able to connect the computer system with HD LCD using the HDMI cable then this is the settings problem of the HDMI of the video card or the HDMI settings of the LCD TV. Please refer to the User manual guide of both the devices for the proper connection. After that you will be able to see the movies directly to the LCD TV from the computer system using the HDMI output feature of this video card.

If all the settings and the connection is proper for the HDMI output for the Video card and also of the LCD TV then this is the problem of the Video card itself. May be the HDMI output port of the video card is not working or the HDMI cable which you are using for the connection purpose is not working properly or it is damaged. So the system and the LCD TV is not detecting each other when you connect both the devices. So check for this two issues and solve that as the respective problem.
