In Reply to: TV as a monitor posted by jmlrotel on December 28, 2004 at 05:38:57:
I've used a TV for video output from my PC for several years. My first go at it was with a Matrox TV graphics card, and a 13 inch Sony TV. It worked fine for playing back recorded video, but it failed as a device that would let me read text from my computer desktop. Text ended up looking smeared, fuzzy, and unreadable.My second go-round with a TV as a computer monitor has been more successful. I have a 34 inch widescreen Sony TV, with very high screen resolution. And I use an ATI graphics card with S video output. Now I can actually read text on the TV, even though it is kinda fuzzy. I can read Asylum pages without too much squinting.
The very best image quality from computer to TV can be done with a DVI connection. Some televisions, like my Sony widescreen, have a DVI input. In principle it's possible to connect the DVI output on a computer graphics card to the DVI input on the TV. And the image quality is reputed to be fantastic. But setting everything up is not simple. The screen resolution and refresh rate must exactly match what the TV can handle. Otherwise, there is a the possibility of frying circuitry in the TV.
If you are interested in DVI output to a TV, there is a good forum on the web for that. I'll dig out the link if you request it.
Good luck!
