I need help hooking my PC up to my high def tv.

Need help with tv/pc monitor resolution?

  • my current is a standard BENQ 22' G2200W (1680x1080). I'm planning to buy a Samsung 32" HD LCD TV LA32D450 (1366x768). the benq was $250 3 years ago. standard monitor, nothing special (not vibrant or crisp display). im planning to dual monitor with the samsung tv as primary monitor. but i noticed the resolution is alot lower. is this a problem ? for a hdtv, shouldnt it be higher than a 3 year old dull 1680x1080 display ? will the hdtv still display better picture than the BENQ? what does lower resolution mean ? im also planning to hook up a ps3 to the samsung tv monitor (also replacing my old crt tv). i think the samsung is superior to the ben pc monitor. i just want to know why. does a lower resolution HDTV beat the higher resolution budget pc monitor ? i appreciate you help ! http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Review/119900,benq-g2200w,specs.aspx http://dicksmith.com.au/product/GE6703/samsung-32-quot-high-definition-lcd-la32d450

  • Answer:

    a 1080p is 1920x1080 so the 1680x1080 is almost 1080p

In video card's Properties see if you have an Overscan feature; This is a compatibility feature... your computer's monitor pixels are finer than on HDTV, so they have this feature to scale up the pixels to a HDTV. Besides, BENQ has better resolution than the Samsung you're trying to buy... buy something that is 1080i/p, not 7201i/p like the Samsung.
