| 518237 | 2007-01-22 06:28:00 | Hi I am looking at a media center pc and have decided on the Playtech Spectra m8900 coupled with a Sony Bravia 40inch V-series lcd. What do you guys think of this combination? |

| 518241 | 2007-01-23 02:50:00 | Just have a think about how you are going to connect the two, I would suggest that you use a DVI to HDMI connector, however this doesn't work 100% of the time. Second would be if the video card has a component dongle, use this. Dont' forget that with your mega screen you are going to need some mega sounds, I would suggest using SPDIF to pass through Dolby Digital and DTS audio to an external 5.1 receiver if you have the budget. Look for a receiver that does good stereo to 5.1 upmixing as live TV is generally only in stereo so will be sent to the receiver as PCM. |
