spidey_joe80 Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 is the dvi output on the back of the new video cards good enough quality to be running to a hdtv? I have heard that in the past that the quality of tv output on video cards wasnt spectacular, but that was when they were using s-video out.

Hardy Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 I would look into a Matrox card. They are famous for producing *the best* picture quality (very high quality RAMDACs etc.) All the new cards (which has a DVI out) can drive an HDTV in is max resolution (is it called 1040i?) but it is my impression that not all of them are good at it. You might want to look into ATI Radeon All in Wonder (8500 is the highest-numbered model for the moment), too. - Hary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted September 5, 2002 Share Posted September 5, 2002 i am bored in class right now, just wanted to say two things... 1st, the Matrox card is not all that and a bag of chips... check out tom's hardware's review of it 2nd, not 1040i, 1080i. more later, just kinda running through right now ------------------ -justin SoundWise promediatech@Klipsch.com /1-888-554-5665 - RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5s> Email Me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT they produce *high quality* products (they cater for the pro's). My old Matrox Millenium G200 produced a sharper picture than my ASUS Geforce3 TI200, for example. Take a look at http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.html?i=1620&p=8 (a review of Matrox Parhelia at anandtech.com, this page focuses on the analogue image quality. I am not sure how much of this applies to DVI). - Hardy This message has been edited by Hardy on 09-05-2002 at 03:51 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
