well i got my VGA cable the other night and hooked up the computer to the LCD TV. I'm less than impressed. I can't seem to get it so that it's not scaling it and it also seems that my couch is a bit too far away for comfortable reading of web sites unless i jack the text size way up. The scaling...

thanks Chad, that looks like a great option as well!

Thanks, yeah the Home Page Up/Down layout isn't a big deal. As for range, I'm anticipating I'll mostly be using it on the couch only a few feet from the receiver so I think that should work out fine. I found it cheap on Ebay so I put a bid in, we'll see if I'm able to get it for even less than I...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm looking for something a bit more affordable. I've found the BTC 9019. It's a wireless keyboard with a small thumbstick mouse and it uses RF. Looks like it can be had for around $50. I think I may give this one a go. BTW, longtime Mac user here (Feb of 99!) but...

Hi, My basement PC is currently connected to an older CRT monitor and I plan on connecting it to my 37" LCD TV instead. Once I do that however, I'll need to use some type of wireless keyboard and mouse setup. Ideally, I'd like to find something that is an all in one unit with either a trackpad...

well after doing some digging i found a post describing how to get into the convergence menu. After fiddling around, I managed to rest the convergence to the factory settings. The screen position and some basic geometry settings are still off but i plan on tackling those tomorrow. either way, I...

ok, so prison break is on and in 1080i the problem is not as bad and the picture was shifted down alot. I went into the service menu and changed around some settings for 1080i mode and it's looking almost back to normal in 1080i both for geometry and convergence (only a slight problem which was...

thanks for the idea, i reset it but all it did was reset the basic settings now the others :frowning: Oh well.

No, I did not. I'll give that a shot. Anyone else have any ideas? From what I can tell it seems to be a convergence issue but I can't be certain.

I have a roughly two year old 42" Samsung CRT RPTV. It seems to be having problems with convergence and geometry as of yesterday morning (see pictures below). The only thing I can think of that may have made this happen was I was adjusting the deflection in the service menu since the screen was...

Without reading all 8 pages of the thread I can't be sure but did any of you guys used to play in the HTF SOCOM group? I played with in that way back in 02 and really enjoyed it but I can't for the life of me remember who was in it (I remember Romier and Cal were but the rest are very foggy). I...

Right now just have PD Zero and Halo 2, but I'll probably be either renting and or purchasing COD 2 soon (though I hear online play sucks in it).

that's a good deal assuming it's the 360 kit as described and not the original XBox kit as pictured, though I think they're in CT so I'd have to pay tax.

I'm on a trial of Live Gold. So far the only games I have are the Demos and Perfect Dark Zero. I probably pick up COD sometime later in the month though. I remember I used to play the original SOCOM on the PS2 and Ghost Recon on Live like 3+ years ago with some of you when I was still in...

if it truly is an intention shortage, then my brother bought into it hook line and sinker. He already had purchased 3 games an a wireless controller by this past Saturday. He went to CompUSA intending to get a Premium system. He got there at 2am and was 12 in line. Low and behold all they had...
