bakerster Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Starting off, I have this TV : The Hitachi 51F510 If I use the DVI out on my Nvidia Geforce 6800GT and use a DVI to HDMI cable, would I get really good resolution on the TV? Like could I use the native resolution of the TV and set that out on my Geforce so its 100% perfect and not blurry at all? If so.. What resolution? The TV is HDTV 1080i... Any idea guys? Thanks!

kjordan2001 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 You shouldn't get any quality loss, meaning if you set your computer to 1080i, you'll get 1080i. Although I'd be careful about using the computer too much on that set, particularly static images since that's a CRT and is susceptible to burn-in.

Exactly what I was going to mention. Unless you're only watching movies or playing games, you'ld be nuts to hook up anything with a static screen area (think taskbar) to that set.

bakerster Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) I plan on using Media Center Edition.. Like the Whole Music, Movies, Photos thing.. The TV is to watch tv on, but when i want media from my computer.. then I would use it.. After how long use of the taskbar being there would burn in start to happen? When I hook it up using S-Video right now, it looks like complete and utter crap. What I want to know, will i be able to set the resolution so basically it looks like it would on a computer screen? Native and Pretty :) ahh! like this : Edited March 24, 2006 by Rob.Baker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted March 24, 2006 Veteran Share Posted March 24, 2006 You should be able to set the res, but you definitely have to be careful of static images like the media center logo and such. I wouldn't leave it on the menu for more than 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petroid Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Probibly wont be left that long either. Lets say burn in did happen, is there any way to replace the parts that were ruined? Burn-in affects the phosphors of the screen, so if burn-in occurs, the only way to fix it is to replace the screen, which in most cases is not worth it. I have no problems with Media Center on my CRT tv, those don't burn in much if at all anymore. I've left the media center menu up for hours at a time! Plasma however is different, images linger for quite a while, but it's not perminant unless it were left for a long period of time. Projection televisions can be (but not neccessarily will be) succeptable to burn-in too. So I guess see how it goes, and if you notice any defects that linger for days, especially if they appear when the screen is off, lessen the time spent viewing static images.

richardsim7 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Chances are the DVD player had some sort of screensaver (mine goes darker when left for a period of time, or animates) :) -Rich- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
