Playing On A Widescreen TV

Green with envy at the 47inches.

I'm playing on a 32" telly and it looks sublime. I'm currently connected via DVI on the graphics card to the 15pin VGA in on the telly. It looks awesome and displays full 1920x1080 with no hiccups.

I've had someone tell me that I should switch to use the HDMI out on my card and run that into one of the HDMI ports on the TV, but I havn't done simply because there's nothing wrong with how things are now.

I'm not sure if the higher resolutions require using HDMI for quality purposes or if it's the larger viewing area at any resolution that makes the image break up.

Just stick an HDMI cable in and give it a whirl. Chances are, you're not going to be disappointed with what you see. HDMI being a clever interface, I think the graphics card shopuld pump frames through it as soon as you plug it in... And even if it doesn't, it should be little more than a tickbox in the graphics properties...

Regards,

Rob.
