Re: What a 26" flat pannel TV could be used as a monitor with a DV

Thanks JW for your message!
I have seen 26LX1D and its manual. 26LX1D is diffenent than 26LX1R or
26LX2R. "Zoom + / - function is not available in DVI PC mode." is written in
26LX1R and 26LX2R manuals (http://gb.lgservice.com/index_b2c.jsp). There is
no "Cinema Zoom" in 26LX1R and 26LX2R manuals.
26LX1R and 26LX2R resolution is 1366x768. Why does LG recommend 1360x768
computer resolution, not 1366x768 then? Does not 26LX2R stretch 1360 vertical
lines to 1366, use the 6 vertical lines?
Best regards,
Dima

i found the users manual for the 26LX1D which is apparently the version sold
in the US and yes it has a function called Cinema Zoom which allows you to
adjuste the size of the screen image. I did not check any other LG models.

Dear JW!
A LG representative said that LG 26LX1R and 26LX1R
(http://gb.lgservice.com/index_b2c.jsp) can be used as a monitor from DVI
computer output without the overscan?
Is this true?

The Panasonic "specialist " has absolutely no idea what he talking about.
Of course Overscan involve scaling since it "zooms in" or upscales the
video
it receives which is of course why small text fonts in PC applications
are
fussy since every 20 line or 20 pixel in a row is "invented" by 5%
percent
upscaling which is very common.

Thanks JW for your helpful reply!
The d-sub is used by my computer monitor already. The DVI is left free.
I
would like to use it to display mpeg 4 movies from my computer on the
TV.
Does overscan includes scaling, which reduces small text readability?
A Panasonic specialist said that HDTV 1080i resolution is the same as
d-sub
1366*768, and that I can output 1366*768 resolution from DVI compurer
output
to HDTV (1080i capable) TV input, and the scaling will not happen. Is
this
true?

There is no technical reason that a PC cannot be used with an HDMI/DVI
interface since the HDTV has no idea where the video is coming from,
There
are however two problem first the number of resolutions receivable by
an
HDTV over HDMI/DVI is limited and secondly almost all HDTVs overscan
their
HDMI/DVI input since they assume it is TV video.
You can either get a unit which also has a VGA interface since they do
not
overscan the VGA input since they assume it is from a PC. You will not
suffer any degradation in resolution using VGA and you may not even
notice a
possible slight degradation in video color quality.
I know of not flat panel from the vendors you listed that provide a
way
not
to overscan their HDMI/DVI inputs. AFAIK then Westinghouse family of
HD
monitors are the only flat panels that give you control of
overscanning.

Hello!
What Panasonic, Toshiba, Samsung, Sharp or any other 26" flat pannel
TV
could be used as a monitor with a DVI output of a computer with the
same resolution as the native resolution of the TV matrix? Should
the
computer resolution be the same as the native resolution of the TV
matrix for a small text being shown clear?
All 26" flat pannel TV manuals with I read indicate that TV's DVI or
HDMI input cannot be used with a computer and a computer video
resolution could not be the same as the native resolution of the TV
matrix, therefore a scaling is required. The scaling makes small
text
unclear.
