QUOTE(Voonz @ May 1 2006, 04:41 PM) hi guys. my tv doesn't come with a dvi or vga input. are there any ways that i can get an external adapter to connect my cpu to my tv. i'm too fed up with the s-video quality. so my question here is . is there any vga adapter that can connect to my tv that doesn't have one. well, you can change your tv  what model are your tv? does it support HD? if it doesn't, then getting video signal in S-Video is the best possible way for your tv. even if there's a VGA Adapter, it will still need to be convert to S-Video, thus you are back with the same video quality. |

QUOTE(Voonz @ May 1 2006, 10:31 PM) Sony Grand WEGA KF-WS60A1 it is HD ready but no DVI or VGA input. that's the sad part dispite it's screen size. so i uess the only way for a sharper scrren is to get a better graphic card then =( $$$ again. wow, super expensive tv. then you'll need something like this DVI to Component Video Adapter. if you found it in our local store be sure to let me know, coz i also want it.  |

QUOTE(HeavenNirvana @ May 19 2006, 05:57 PM) I was able to find HD ready crt tv but not a true HD crt tv. i dont think crt tv will have a true HD. Only plasma or LCDTV. My god they are too expensive. HD Ready and HDTV i heard before. never heard of "true HD". what is that? QUOTE(wcliang @ May 19 2006, 06:34 PM) ar...blur....HD ready not HD then wat ?? HD ready can support 720p/1080i, but cannot receive broadcasted HD signal, which is not a loss since malaysia still haven't broadcast in HD. |

QUOTE(Jonlam @ May 20 2006, 07:55 AM) Is it true that only HDMI/DVI output can upscale to 720p or 1080i and component video can't from a DVD player with upscale capabilities? i think that would largely depends on the player itself. forgot to tell you about the service mode. when everytime you save the setting, it will flash the EPROM. and EPROM have the tendecy to "die" after too many flash,  so you might wanna flash for a permanent change only, not everytime keep changing the setting and flashing. |

if by 2012 the majority people still using crt/plasma/lcd HDtv with component, i'm sure HDCP will be scrapped. and seeing how slow people start transaction to newer technology in AV equiptment, 6 more years people probably still using the same technology as now. in USA HD transmission have begun for some years already, but there's still many using SDTV. one of the gamespot writer also still using SDTV eventhough he own XB360 and has the salary that can afford 2 1080p tv.

whats PQ? Picture Quality?
XB360 only display 480p for DVD Movie. if you want a better picture quality, get a dvd player that will upscale the video to 720p or 1080i. how much is the samsung price? or you could just get xbox1 and put in XBMC.

QUOTE(term001 @ May 31 2006, 05:20 PM) yes PQ = Picture Quality to my understanding, this samsung is capable to upscale video source to 720p/1080i ..no ? can this be achieved using component cable ? too bad this sony tv dont have HDMI input (HDMI to HDMI and HDMI to DVI cable come together with samsung dvd player) if thats the case, it should produced better PQ from XB360 abt the price, someone had post the price ard 950 in this thread thanks for your input i google the samsung model, and the website does stated it support 720p/1080i. technically it should give better picture quality than 480p, but at that price you are better off with xbox1 and xbmc. |

QUOTE(mikelee @ Jun 5 2006, 02:04 PM) - Samsung Slimfit 32 inch Widescreen TV RRP: RM3k-4k - Samsung Slimfit 29 inch TV (not widescreen) RRP: RM 1k+ does this 2 model support 60Hz? or only 50Hz? if you live in Australia or Europe with PAL console that would be fine. but if in malaysia, most of the thing is NTSC, which need tv capable of 60Hz. QUOTE(ar188 @ Jun 6 2006, 07:27 PM) actually while all these inputs are very capable for a CRT, will they actually display every pixel of a 1920x1080... (say for a 1080i input) downscale to 1080i maybe? |

QUOTE HD-CRTs are generally credited with producing the least amount of lag, while DLP-based HDTVs (Samsungs in particular thanks to DNIe image enhancement) are often considered the worst. Of course, we've read a number of reports of laggy LCDs and plasma displays as well, which means that no HDTV technology is truly safe. DLP, LCD, Plasma. unless the image enhancement can be turned off, it's still a risky buy for gamers. |

QUOTE(DDSFan8 @ Jul 23 2006, 10:14 AM) Question: Is HD Ready also means a HDTV? HD Ready means at minimun it should be able to handle 720p/1080i signal. HDTV means means at minimun it should be able to handle 720p/1080i signal, and it have a decoder to process HD digital terrestrial signal. Malaysia have no plan yet to support HD digital terrestrial signal for now, so it wouldn't make much sense to get HDTV now. |

QUOTE(psp _BOY @ Oct 8 2006, 11:20 AM) 1080i is supported by most 720p TV's,1080i is basically 540p.1080p however is beyond reach of all 720p TV's since its more than 2 times more resolution than 720p. 1080i does not equivalent to 540p. 1080i is the same as 1080p except for the way it scan lines and total FPS. and 1080p is not 2 times more resolution than 720p, it's more 50% only. |

QUOTE(psp _BOY @ Oct 9 2006, 02:46 PM) 1080i is 1080p at half the speed,therefore should be equivelant to 540p,and 1080p has more than 2 times the resolution of 720p.1280 x 720 =921600 1920 x 1080=2073600 meh half the speed, but at same screen size. try to compare video of 540p and 1080i at tv 40" or bigger, which one would look nicer? if count bit by bit sure it's bigger, but by just looking at it, it look 50% bigger only. |

QUOTE(plastictree @ Nov 3 2006, 10:28 AM) Anyone with experience with tv calibration. Since my xbox struck by lightning i'm using divx dvd player to watch anime but has serious overscan issues. XBMC has utilities to correct this but not on dvd player. I have sony db29 and have read xxboxx post on service mode and tried it last night but not change anything. What test pattern to use for overscan calibration? I notice my AV1 s-video input (astro) also got overscan issues same as my DVD/HD1 component (dvdplayer previosly using xbox). I read at avsforum.com about calibaration and using special software Avia/DVE  for calibration. M'sia got it or not? as i said before, the service mode changes that you made, ARE AT OWN RISK. well the service mode can only adjust abit for the overscan. and i didn't know which choice to adjust, just screw around with the setting and see the difference, just don't save the setting first. write down which value that need to be changed and then power off and start back your tv and do the actual save after you change the value. |
