Hi Kenny,

What Graphics Card are you using?

To make Eyefinity 6 work in general ;
OS WIN Vista or newer.
Make use of the DisplayPort output on the card (easy on this card, because this card only has DP outputs)
When connecting Screens with DP input you can connect those directly with “normal” or “passive” cables.
When connecting Screens without DP input, so DVI or HDMI, you will need active adapters with Eyefinity support for all screens after the first 2.

So in your case like this:
Screen 1 : Connect with normal/passive adapter cable plus HDMI Cable to the TV
Screen 2 : Connect with normal/passive adapter cable plus HDMI Cable to the TV
Screen 3 : Connect with an active adapter with Eyefinity support plus HDMI Cable to the TV
Screen 4 : Connect with an active adapter with Eyefinity support plus HDMI Cable to the TV
Screen 5 : Connect with an active adapter with Eyefinity support plus HDMI Cable to the TV
Screen 6 : Connect with an active adapter with Eyefinity support plus HDMI Cable to the TV

I do not know the Delock Active Adapter you mention, it seems to be ab active one but i am not sure it actually support Eyefinity, like our CAC-1153 does for sure.

Also please note that there’s a limitation to the length of the HDMI you can use. Normally cables over 3 meters will need to be active.
And last but not least, please check on the configuration of the screens, although you can output 6 x 1920x1080p at 60Hz you cannot place all 6 screens vertically next to each other, please check this link:
