Posted by trent Any solutions on why this power down the monitor settings works great with a VGA monitor, S-video to TV, but not HDMI to TV? Thanks. -t |
Posted by MrMusik I think you are on the right path with the resolution issues. I am not familiar with that particular video card, but a newer card with an HDMI output connector may help. I highly doubt you will be able to convince the card to give you those 6 extra pixels of resolution. Also, Dynex is teh suxors. buy a better TV. Samsung is my current favorite. |
Posted by MrMusik Can you wake up the TV with the power button on the TV? |
Posted by trent I recently got a 26" Dynex LCD TV which supports 1366x768 native resolution. It's not a huge resolution, but just big enough to work nicely when hooked up to the monitor. My video card is an old Radeon 9600 or something. The TV has HDMI in and my computer's video card has DVI-D out. I bought a single cable that had the DVI at one end and HDMI at the other. Looking good so far. I can hook it up and it looks great. But, every now and then the screen flickers/goes black for a second, re-appears again, and then tells me the resolution it's on and it's input source. It seems like it's rescanning for some reason. I think that reason might be because my video card output has a setting for 1360x768 @ 60 Hz, but the TV is meant to run at 1366x768 @ 60Hz. It's centering the picture with 3 unused pixels on each side of the picture. I've tried downloading and running a recommended program called Powerstrip which lets you tweak or force resolution settings. I tried to create a 1366x768 resolution and force it upon my video card, but it didn't work, and my video card would not seem to allow it, so I can't even select it. I'm stuck at picking the 1360x768 resolution setting on my computer. My guess is this resolution mis-match causing my re-scanning. Would you agree? Sometimes it will go hours without scanning. Sometimes it will do it once now and then. Other times it will do it like 10 consecutive times in 15 seconds which is ridiculous. Can anyone think of any other possible solutions to this? |
