Does it not show any video at all or does it just extend your iMac's desktop to the 42" TV?

You might try using the keyboard command instead, which can vary. Typically cmd+F1 will work.

Have you tried a different HDMI port on the TV? You may also need to alter the TV's settings, don't forget 1040i and 1040p are different! I don't think you can connect to a 1040p TV. I have a Apple adapter & cable connecting to my 46" 1040i Sony to my 17" MacBook Pro with no problem.
