Samsung 26" LCD HDTV...........


Recommended Posts

I am about to buy a Samsung 26" LCD HDTV (I'm in the UK Btw) and it has the VGA connector to connect it to your PC. I was wondering if any1 else is or has done this before.....and does it work well with a Monitor of this size (I have Windows XP MCE 2005 also) ?

Hopefully some1 can advise me on this..........

BTW....I have an Alienware Media Center PC hooked up to my 42" Samsung LCD. Media Center is the bomb with one exception.....picture quality is not as good as opposed to a direct cable connection. Oh....and you also can't get HD content (except OTA) via Media Center.

i work at bestbuy.. i've done this before.  it looks hella good.  i'm sporting a 26" insignia lcd tv with a mcpc right now.

*shudder* insignia

crane since you work there, how does it look? I was thinking about getting it, but in the store they had the dvd running and it looked absolutly horrible. Does the dvd not do justice?

I also work at Best Buy. The set looks fantastic when running at native res. You should enjoy it.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
