Hi, ive got an lcd tv with hdmi and a geoforce 7600 graphics card on my pc. card has got normal monitor output which i have been using up till now but I watch a lot of films etc that are hd. card also has an svid output, so ive bought cables and connected them but there is no difference. there is an hdmi port in the tv but not on the card. id be grateful for any help. cheers
thanks will try that, will an adaptor be easy to find do you think? got useles cables from pc world but didnt see any adaptors there. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks again.
I just did a google search and typed "HDMI to DVI adapters" and got some listings from different stores. I think BestBuys has an HDMI to DVI cable from Monster, but that's a ripoff in my opinion.. Monster is way overrated in my opinion.. I'm not sure if they sell the adapter though??
I didnt notice the time on the message, i assumed you were i the uk. judging by the time difference im guessing you are in us. wanted to know a `local` store so i could get it straight away. not long had computer so keep forgetting about the wonder that is google! doh! going to get one in a bit so will let you know how i get on. cheers
hi again, plugged it in and my computer crashed and would not start up again, had to give it to my mate to fix. got it back now though (obviously) and the image is crisp so thanks. one more slightly unrelated question- whenever i turn computer off or restart it it gets partly through the startup then crashes. it usually takes 4 or 5 attempts before it properly starts. any ideas why or what i could do to fix it? anyway elusiv 1 you have been a star, cheers.
Yah that happens to me when i use my laptop via S-video to connect it to my Standard Def tv. I think it's because it uses memory whenever it switches display. It probably depends on how much Ram and Video Ram you have.
