How can get better computer screen resolution on my plasma tv screen?
November 10th, 2008
Crypto asked:
I recently bought a DVI/HDMI cable and connected my computer to my 42″ plasma tv. The resolution is very poor. I tried changing the resolution to match the tv (1080) but it made the text very hard to read. I tried adjusting the resolution from the video card and the computer settings, nothing. No matter what resolution I try, it still looks bad. Not sure if it matters, but I’m running a 7950 GT video card.

MSB asked:
Is there any sacrafice in quality in using a computer to connect to an LCD tv using a HD-15 input oppose to connecting to an LCD computer monitor. I am looking for a LCD tv (42 inches) with a resolution of 1920 x 1200. Am I right to asume that a LCD tv with 1080P capability will give me a 1920 x 1200 resolution from my computer?
assuming that my vid card is a BFG GeForce 7950 GT OC

scaramanga89 asked:
I have a Sony Bravia which has resolutions of 720p and 1080i. What is the best way to connect to my pc? Should I use HDTV r Super VGA? If I choose 1280 x 800 it looks pin sharp but does not fill the screen ,and it is not as clear on the resolutions that do. I have checked my graphics card etc, and can only stretch the screen on certain resolutions. I want to be able to read text easily.

How can I watch TV while on my computer on an LCD TV?

tealoschaotic asked:
My LCD has inputs for my PC (using HDMI) and a DTV tuner built-in. Can I use the DTV tuner to watch TV in a window while I’m on the HDMI input? Some TVs have PIP for this, but viewsonic doesn’t think much of PIP.

I don’t want to have to keep circling through the inputs to jump b/w TV and computer.
