Why do HDTV's not produce Full HD 1920 x 1080 display through there PC inputs? I have a brand new HDTV thats uses the SXGA PC signal with a viewing display of 1280 x 1024 max through its PC input. Is this standard and why? Surely a PC with DVI out to a HDTV PC input can produce a Full High Definiton picture?
When buying the product, you should have looked at the full spec really and you would have seen that what resolution was available... DVI has many different resolutions it can go up to. There are also single link and dual link DVI connectors.... not all the pins are compatable on some pieces of equipment. As you say, Full HD is 1920x1080 and your native resolution on your TV is less than that.... it's just the product you bought... can you take it back and look for another product if that is what you really want?? Also, your computer has to be able to output 1920x1080, so check all that firstand decide if you really want to shell out a lot more money. The other thing to remember is that anything above standard definition is allowed to be called High Def, which, somkw could argue is unfair on the unsuspecting public.....
if its a HDTV then it must have either a DVI or HDMI input capable of recieving a resolution of at least 1360 x 768 ( i think thats right) Over VGA the TV is doing its best to act as a PC monitor, not a HDTV and therfore conforms to most of the standard "VESA" resolutions including SXGA. Also, if you condiser Bluray, it must be transmitted over a digital connection (DVI or HDMI) to achieve HDCP compliance handshake between GFX card and TV. And power DVD will not let a HD resolution be transmitted over an analogue cable (VGA) so it downscales it to SD. If you want HD, you need to use DVI or HDMI. If your native TV res is 1366 x 768 then set that as your GFX card custom res. This way, your PC is scaling the res from 1920 x 1080 down to the exact res of your panel.
