i hooked up my HD cable box to my PC via Firewire it let me watch and record HD and SD content right to my hard drive and to think the cable company wanted to charge me more per month to get a DVR box fuck that glad i just settled for the regular HD boxi'm looking to get a nice sized wide screen HD TV/ Monitor soon in the 26"-42" rangethinking maybe panasonic or samsung i always see them on sale at Fryswhat yall think?
^ are u using 2 screens or just one?
The only thing that sucks is Non-HD stuff on a HDTV looks pretty bad. When I watch a HD channel from Direct Tv or a Hd Dvd or Blu-Ray the picture is incredible and so amazing, but when I watch a channel that is not hd or certain dvds that arent in High Definition it looks bad. I have talked to alot of people and they said this is just the way it is, Im not complaining cause the HD stuff is out of this world but it just sucks cause Pacer and Kings games arent in hd so the games look pretty shitty as does some of my King of Queens and Curb Your Enthusiam dvds aswell.
check your refresh rate. if you normally run 75hz or higher then that'll be why. change the pc display settings to 60hz and a resolution like 1360x768 (which is closest to most hdtvs native res, except 1080p and plasma displays) then plug it in the vga in on the hdtv. might need to tinker in the tv settings to tell it its a wxga as opposed to xga pc signal to get the proper quality...
once you go HD you will never go back to that 480 crap and thats the truth.
