Will be using DVI to HDMI cable to run my computer to the tv. Thats the primary use for it, games and movies.
How do you find running your computer through a tv that’s around 40" - if you’ve tried it? Does the tv have a high refresh rate, and is the picture good?
I practically live at work and since I look after the IT too, I’ve built myself this end of last year:
Q6600 stock, 4gb DDR3, 8600gts, 500gb main, 1tb external, 22" widescreen. I love it, does just what I need for graphics.[/quote]
Funny you should ask. I bought the tv to use VGA as the primary video source from the tv. I found out that DVI to HDMI provided a better picture and I happened to have one lying around. The tv I own can auto adjust the picture so it can fit correctly. It won’t fit perfectly at first (the desktop seems to extend past the viewable area of the tv), but once you auto adjust it (just fit I think), it fits perfectly. Video is a blast on it and everything just looks awesome. Once I get it fixed, I’ll throw bioshock back on here and let you know.
Reading font at 1920x1080 is a pain though, you would want to increase the DPI if you use vista. If I press the info button, it says “1920x1080, 60hz”. It “should” run games fine. Even though the tv will display 120hz, it won’t run any computer source at that refresh rate since that’s hardware dependent (video card). Everything from your computer will run 60hz.
I can turn the tv on and use it, it just has a “check fan” error and shuts off after 15 minutes of use. Sometimes, it won’t display the error, so I am not using it till the repair guy comes out.
Nice computer btw! Ever considered OCing it? Its a blast!
