I have a
-2.8 ghz P4 PC with a ATI X700 pro video card (supports tv out)
-17" LCD Monitor set @ resolution 1280x1024
-27" LCD TV @ Connect to PC via S-VIDEO
When i enable the TV and extended desktop, images look distorted because of the awkward resolution and videos dont play. Small photos look nice and everythign works in extended view (mouse, pics, apps) BUT VIDEOS dont play they stay black or frozen at that frame. (but the play time counter continues moving)
How do i properly conifgure my 1080i compatible 27" tv to fit the WHOLE SCREEN and look as good as it does if i connected via DVI :S
(not it quality but liek full screen and nice)
EDIT: MANAGED A MINOR FIX!
-UNSTEAD OF "EXTENDED MONITOR" I SET IT TO "MONITOR REPLICA/CLONE" so now it is a clone display but ... my pc display res is set low and it looks crap on my pc but very nice on my tv :S
my tv display has a black boarder around the desktop ...:S
I don't think graphics cards for computers have output Component though. If yours does though make sure you get component cables. Red, Green, and Blue, plus it has audio on it sometimes which is Red and White, 5 RCA plugs total.
Don't get confused with standard composite cables, Yellow, Red and White which can only do 480i or 640x480@30Hz.
i know bro, my video card has dvi out and a little circle out that can comes with 2 adaptors 1 for yellow output, 1 for s video output and 1 with blue/red/green output :)
is it ok if i buy a cable that contains
blue, red, green, white, and yellow? and just use the b/r/g?? iv found at radio shack .. but online i found the b/r/g 1 for same price + tax + shipping ... so $10 more
