Hello All,
I purchased a HDTV with the intent to use it for my PC monitor.
I am also in the process of building a new PC.
My questions are. What is the best connection from the video card to the TV? The TV has Component Y/G,Pb/B,Pr/R, S-Video, DTV and a basic yellow video connection.
What is the best output on the video card? I am open to both ATI and GeForce cards.
I have talked to different people and looked around on the net. One person I talked to said use a ATI AIW and use the Component adaptor that comes with the card. I have also heard go with the S-Video out of a good card.
How does a VGA-to-Component cable do?
I am looking for the absolute best solution!

Thanks A Lot in advance for your help!

Jason

In my opinion, DVI is the best. DVI sends a digital signal, that is very high quality. ATI has a card, that supports DVI too.

Hello mayostudent

Video (or composit) has the lowest grade of quality.
Then there is S-video, and the best is Component Y/G,Pb/B,Pr/R.
Y/G,Pb/B,Pr/R is in fact Y,Pb, Pr or R,G,B.
RGB is better than YPbPr.
This is because YPbPr has to be decoded first to RGB.
I do not know what DTV is. I think its digital TV and that is the very best.

In short from "bad to "best"

Video (or composite)
S-video
YPbPr
RGB
DTV

DVI is a analog/digital interface for flatscreen monitors.

I do not know any hardware with a DTV or Y/G,Pb/B,Pr/R output.
Mostly on videocards you have a composite or S-video output.
In my opinion, these cards do not have the quality as a normal pc screen.
If they work you always have to fiddle around with software to get rid of the black borders around your picture on a TV.

I use the Hollywood+ MPEG2 card to watch dvd?s in iso format from my server on my tv in dvd quality with all the menu?s and dolby digital/DTS sound.
It eats a lot of space on my server, about 4 to 8 Gb a dvd, but I?ve got room for about 20 dvd?s.
