Hello all! I have a PC that I use to output to my RP TV. I use the SVGA output from the main video card and direct it to use this as my primary display. I was running this at 1024X768 on my 50” Toshiba with no problems at all. The desktop looked okay for what it is and I didn’t expect it to be 100%. Now the AVI.s I play through it look wonderful. In full screen mode they look almost DVD quality. I have a bunch of AVI’s/MPG’s of movie previews and snippets etc… that are just nicer on the TV.
My question is while I ran at 1024X768 on my older 4:3 TV was this too much or just at the limit of the max resolution I should run to a TV? Always at 60Hz.
Now I just got a new Toshiba 65HDX82 and want to make sure I can run this same display into the new TV. I don’t want to cause it any harm.
So what are the resolution limits I should be aware of while outputting to a TV from a computer via a SVHS connection? Should I be safe as long as I keep it at a 60HZ refresh rate? Can I stick with the 1024X768 or can I go higher? I won’t as 1024X768 is great but would just like to know. Is it the 1024 or the 768 side that I should worry about more etc… I am just paranoid since I love the new TV and don’t want to do anything to mess it up.
I know of the warning of outputting from the flat panel connection of the video card (which I have) to the DVI input on the new TV so I won’t do that. They say in the manual not to do that though that would seem to be the best way.
How about a VGA to component adapter? Would that be a better solution? Again what are the limits I should look for?
I read the FAQ but ii does not cover this or I didn’t see it.
Thanks,
Jace
