fawwaz Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 I am not sure about this since I haven't tried it yet , but has any one got a graphics card with a TV out? It should mean that you can game with your TV screens @21"-35"? Has anyone tried it ,hoe does it look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipnotic_Tranz Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 Yep, I have an AIW Radeon which has Video-Out/Video-In (along with a t.v. tuner). It's great for editing videos. I watch DVD's out in the other room with it (run the wires from my room to the next through the wall) and the picture quality is great. I have yet to try games--though I did it with my Voodoo3 3000 and it was ok. The problem is the text is basically blurred out. It's hard to read text. I did, however, run napster on my computer w/TVout enabled and was listening to music in the other room and the text was much more clear. So if my room ever gets organized, I'm going to have it so my friend can game on the computer and the rest of us can sit on my bed and watch him, via T.V. It would be pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fawwaz Posted April 25, 2001 Author Share Posted April 25, 2001 let me get this straight. The card must have a Tv-out(S-Video out) so that you use your 29" monitor as a T.V! TV-in in a card will let use your monitor as a T.V If what you say is true then who the hell needs a 900$ 21" monitor when he can get a Geforce with a S-video out(same as TV out) and use a 500$ 29" monitor.you will be saving about 400$ and using a 29" I am saying that becuase many people here are buying new systems and asking about monitors 19"-21" which cost the same as a standard 29"-32" TV . s> Correct me if I am wrong!

nightkidz Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 its harder to read text on a tv screen and no one would wanna sit so close to a tv screen specially a 29 inch one. the tv out i use is basically just for when watching movies. if u plan on using a tvout for all cpu uses, i dont recommend.

fawwaz Posted April 25, 2001 Author Share Posted April 25, 2001 I not sure about the new stuff, but I think the highest resolution a TV can get is 800X600 , but the color as so good you won't notice! You don't have to be too close ,imagine playing a shooter with a 29" !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipnotic_Tranz Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 fawwaz - Unless you get one of those new TV/Monitor type of T.Vs, it's not going to be worth it. If you want to use your T.V as your monitor, get one of those expensive *** T.V.s that double as both a T.V. and a monitor. If you don't, you won't be able to read jack-**** . Think about surfing the net; you would get a headache! Trust me; it's hard to read the text. It's really just something that your friends can "ooo" and "ahhh" at; as far as gaming. Now, when it comes to watchin' DVD's, it looks wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fawwaz Posted April 25, 2001 Author Share Posted April 25, 2001 Thanks Hipnotic_Tranz ! What is a monitor TV ? what do you tell the seller (he's ignorent already) I don't know about Text , I am thinking of games here! ,not sure though but I think the better the Video card the better the picture ,although I don't know if you can get a higher than 800X600 resolution!!
