Re: Best way to connect HDTV to HTPC

Interesting replies!

I'm leaning towards a 27 or 30" Samsung monitor. Excellent picture quality and appear to have very high ratings. These monitors are 1366x768 (720p). According to the good folks on AVSforums, you'll never see a difference between 720p and 1080i/1080p with this size screen.

I checked my ATI manual and it said:

"If you move your PC to a place where you are using TV display only, make sure that you have the TV display feature enabled. You can set your display resolution as high as 1024x768. However, higher resolutions will result in a virtual desktop. If a TV is your only display device and a higher mode is selected, the display on your TV will disappear."

queonda, what would happen if I set this display at 1024x768 when it's native resolution is 1366x768? Does this ATI comment apply to a monitor/tv combo or only to a tv?

Myung, nice choice on the 32" Samsung monitor! Wow, the larger models are wonderful but very hard to choose... Good luck!

How are you using your Samsung? Is it the sole monitor or do you use two monitors? If two, did you set it up as the primary or the secondary monitor?

Best,

Rick
