When SN75DP139's Vcc: 0V condition, TMDS data pin(OUT_D1~OUT_D4) supply voltage, is it no problem?
Is there possible to damage by the wraparound voltage?
Best regards,

The absolute maximum ratings forbid a voltage higher than Vcc + 0.3 V for the OUT_Dx pins.
With a higher voltage, current will flow through the ESD protection diodes to Vcc, which can power up the chip, and might burn out those diodes.
The "Typical Application" in the datasheet shows that connection the OUT_Dx pins to a cable is possible. And figure 22 appears to imply that there are no ESD protection diodes to Vcc, but Zener diodes (which would work regardless of the actual level of Vcc).
An absolute maximum rating of at least 4 V would make more sense, and other devices like, e.g., SN75DP126, TMDS261B, or TDP158 do not have Vcc-dependent maximum voltages.
So I suspect that this entry in the absolute maximum ratings table is not correct.
The SN75DP139 should work with any DVI/HDMI display.
The video data is transmitted digitally. If there were any problem with the transmissions, some random pixels would be garbled, or the display would not be able to detect the source at all. If one color is off, or if the display is too dark, then this points to a problem with the pixel processing in the display itself.
