    Hi,
    I bought a 26" television sharp Aquos (LC26D40U).
    My goal is to know if it's possible to connect my computer to my TV.
    I have an amazing graphic card (Nvidia Gefoce 6500) with DVI. I bought the DVI to HDMI cable and connected the two. I see something but the resloution is not crisp(writting is not well visible).
    I know your going to say to change the resolution of my computer but i did, and it still doesn't work.

    Please tell me if it's possible to have that TV with this card and make it work.
    Thank you very much.
    ERIC

    eh i dunno really how to help you, but i have a media center PC and i tried both S-video and Compnonent with all the resolutions possible and i dont get any results of good quality. I think it might just be the TV.. i have a Sharp Aquos 27inch also. I got it for like 899 so i guess the TV is just bad. I looked in the manual.. it gives me this stupid resolution that isnt on my graphic card :(

    That's what Sharp told me
    I contacted them and this specific model isn't made at all for TV use.

    Same here, I have a 7900gs and it doesn't even display the recommended resolution of 1366x768 . It does look nice and crisp on 800x600, but that resolution is very 1990's. I will have to go exchange it for another.
