Thats why a 29" TV is $900, but a 29" computer monitor would require a mortgage on the house. That said, its surprising what some graphics will display like, but never try to use the TV as a monitor for general computer use, or you may go blind!! |

Just thinking it shouldnt really be any different.. Ive run 5x PCI VGA cards off a P75 with 64MB RAM with no effect.. little different I know.. but the performance hit should be less than a second to load your media player up in reality... > > How can I improve the quality of video?

Okay.. right-click on ya desktop and choose Properties. Click on the Settings Tab, Click on the Advanced Button A new window should appear with a tab somewhere, mine says GeForce4 MX 440 coz that's the card I have, yours should say similar I would think. A little box should pop out the side of the window after your PC resets its monitor or something.. Click on Desktop Utilities near the bottom of the new menu Click on Enable Dualview (Putting a Tick in the Box). It explains what it does, making it see two monitors in the Display Properties so you can set each monitor as a seperate resolution, however Video only plays on the Primary Display! Hope this helps Cheers Chill. |
