Hey everyone..
I'm in the process of collecting stuff I need to hook my PC up to my HDTV monitor. I have a couple of questions though. First off a background on my PC.
XP 1700+ @1.67
ASUS A7N266-C (built in Dolby Digital)
256MB PC2100
WD 40GB 7200RPM
Leadtek GF4 Ti4200 64MB
Leadtek WinFast TV2000 XP TV Tuner (have not purchased yet but decided on this model, suggestions are welcome for a TV/Capture card)
1. Does the VGA to Component connector need to convert the signal? I have seen a lot of cables / converters ranging from $30-200. Will a cable that splices from VGA to Component be suffice or do I need to convert the signal?
2. What monitor resolution displays in 16:9 1080i? Will video cards even support this resolution?
Thanks for any help!
