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

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Well, my Samsung has inputs, but I can't remember if they're 1/8" or RCA.

1360 is the only choice on pretty much them all.

Panasonic, Sony, Philips do not have a 1/8" stereo miniplug for the HDMI
port, but only for a PC input. What TVs do have the miniplug for the HDMI
input?

Depends on the video card, but most can.

Usually there is a 1/8" stereo miniplug next to the HDMI port for audio.

I hope Samsung LE32R71B supports a PC 1360x768 resolution through HDMI.
How
will a PC audio enter TV if video goes to the HDMI input?
Can a video card output 1366x768 resolution really?

I can't explain why, but many TVs say, in their documentation, that

But they are. How would a TV know the source is a PC? I suspect it
has
something to do with the US' stupid DRM rules.

I'm going to buy a 32" TV which supports 1360x768 on VGA and has
three
pixel
columns on the left and right that are unused.
What did you mean by "I don't believe that is true. Many TVs SAY
they
don't
support it, but do." then?

Do many TVs support a resolution, equal to its matrix resolution,
from
a
computer, although they SAY they don't? Don't they overscan
1360x768
computer
resolution to 1366x768 matrix resolution?

Thanks JW for DVI-I explanation!
Is there a difference in quality on a 26-27" TV between VGA
and
DVI
interfaces?
The only 26-27" TVs which receive TV's matrix resolution over
DVI
are
LG
26LX1R and 26LX2R which have a Headphone output on their back,
which
is
very
inconvenient for me.

No only some video cards use DVI-I connectors that have both

for
Dual DVI connectors as these are the cards most likely to

When video interfaces were first invented for computers to
replace
teletypes
or typewriters the character fonts were set at 8 pixels wide
by
12
pixels
high so all PC text formats are a multiple of this. This is
why
the

displays which could display 40 80 column punched card images
had a
resolution of 640x480.

Samsung informs that HDMI input on its 26" TVs cannot be
used
for
a
PC,
and
the HDMI input does not accept 1366x768 resolution through
it.
I'm going to buy a video card with two outputs. Does every
video
card
DVI
output have VGA embedded? Or, Is this adapter a digital to
analog
converter?

My LG is the 42" LCD.

As for VGA, your video card should have come with an
adapter
to
let
a
VGA
monitor connect to the DVI connector. DVI has VGA
embedded.

The Samsung has HDMI though. With a DVI to HDMI cable you
can
connect
DVI
to the Samsung.

What is a model of your troublesome LG?
Samsungs can not input from a computer DVI output, do
they?
I can't find a card with two d-subs, but d-sub and DVI
only.
My
computer
monitor has a d-sub only. DVI is left for a TV.

I highly recommend Samsung

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?

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

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.

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?
