Usually with TFT's you need to set the refresh rate down to 50-60hz otherwise you wont get a picture. However I have seen monitors that wont respond to a lower rate. With situations like this I usually remotely connect to the PC with a util like VNC, http://www.realvnc.com/ and remotely set the display properties until I get an output to a screen.
