Thread : Trying to enable a tv as a monitor
|
|
More Information
|
Im having trouble enabling my tv as another monitor. The card im using is an old ati radeon s9250 pci. When I try enabling the tv it comes up on the tv but all blurred and messed up. The tv is an old goldstar tv. If anyone could help it would be great. If nothing can fix it I might get a new card. |

Nope, sounds like its working just fine. Older CRT TVs look like crap. If you want a good picture, try using a new Plasma or LCD.

The problem is your TV, its resolution is too low. You can't fix your TV. Your video card is probably feeding it 2 to 3 times its native resolution, so everything looks blurry compared to how it would look on a monitor.

the thing is it's blurry beyond being able to see anything sort of clear |

Increase your font size to like, 72. That would scale them up to around the "normal" size for text on a TV broadcast. |

Reduce your resolutions as much as possible. I have a 27" HD tube TV and it takes some tweaking. You wont get it ideally perfect for the desktop but as 4745454b says, video looks great.

Are you saying videos look bad? If you want it to look good for text, I'm not even sure thats possible. Increasing the font size will help, but AFAIK, it will still look bad. Again, people hook their computers up to their TVs to watch movies/DVDs/TV shows, etc, not to type papers on them. --------------- The voice of REASON Do NOT feed the TROLLS! Always a DEMON! |

It's not that I want to type things. I want to watch movies and such but when I enable my tv as a monitor the tv looks all discolored and looks as if the tv screen was in a blender. |

How do you have it hooked up, and what drivers are you using? --------------- The voice of REASON Do NOT feed the TROLLS! Always a DEMON! |

I use an Svideo cable to connect my x1800xt to my TV, no adapter is used. I've never tried to use either an adapter or a RCA plug to hook up a TV, so I don't know if the issue is there. (I have hooked up things before with those "patch" cords, if you are using an old cord in this setup anywhere, go out a buy a new one.)
