Okay. I'm looking to get a Rear Projection TV either DLP or CRT (still debating) Anyway, my PC has a DVI-I output. All the Tv's I am looking at has a DVI-D input. (was looking at LCD, but Im looking more at a bigger tv for my price range) anyway, what im thinking is this. Get a DVI-I to DVI-D converter http://tinyurl.com/7cd2p and of course, just not use the VGA part of it. As long as I kept the video card to the right resolution and the refresh rate at 60hZ would I cause any damage to the TV? Also.. one last question. Some Tv's I was looking at only had one DVI input. Is there a way I can get a switch or splitter to put my HD box AND PC to one connection (to the TV) and just be carefull that I only have one thing at a time? OR Should I just say screw it, get a LCD TV that has VGA input? Please suggest what would be a good tv for me. Here are my guidlines I currently have a 27'' Advent HDTV(composite only) I have around $1000-1300 to play with. I would like a bigger TV. One that is the best bang for my buck. Should I get a projection? but my couch is 5 feet from where my current TV is now. is this enough for the viewing angle? or Should I just hunt around and get a LCD TV, smaller than what I wanted? (like 37'')so I can properly hook up my PC Sooo many decisions!
An LCD rear projection really shouldn't cost you that much more...the price of regular LCD TV jumps through the roof the larger you get but rear projection isn't bad. I have a 42' Sony LCD rear projection ... the 51' of the same series was only like $200-250 more. As much as I love my TV (picture is just awesome), I could kick myself for not getting the 51. I much prefered the LCD to Samsung's 46' DLP, the DLP seemed grainy if you got too close but may well have been just bad settings.
the sony 3lcd or the dlp's are going to be to much money for your application however the crt projections are not though they are heavier and may not get the same resoloution but will be in the price range. as far as splitting the dvi I am not sure but sounds doable let us know how it goes
