Here is the situation :
I got a hdtv ready lcd 32''.
My pc got a BFG 7950 GT OC 512gddr3
I want to plug my super TV on this super Video card (if we want!)
I tried first with what they call a HDTV dongle.
It is a 7pin plug s-video you plug in the card, and the cable is made of 3 components video plug (Y, PB,PR or something like that) When I plug the component on my LCD TV, the image suck so bad, that's horrible, blur, bad colors, etc.
Now my Video card has 2 DVI-D receiver with 2 adapter for RBG signal (SVGA plug). Actually my pc screen is plugged with that.
MY TV can only receive RGB signal, HDMI and Components (of course)
So...my roomate here usa a RGB signal, analog on his TV and got a really nice picture.
How come if I use the HTDV dongle, s-video to compontent, I got a pretty bad screen...this is suposed to be hdtv plug and play !!!
By the way, NVIDIA software is a pain.
My brother sugest me to buy a dvi-d//hdmi cable with the two plug on it, or a HDMI cable with an adapter for the DVI-D plug on my video card.
It is so costy to buy that at futureshop (a kind of bestbuy but with more quality)...
170$ canadian dollars for a 12 feet hdmi//dvi cable.
This is pure non sense.
What can I do ?????
should I Use a RGB signal, plain and simple plug and play, and expect receiving a good image (like my roomate on the same tv hehe)
or should I buy a cable online, HDMI 15 feet gold, 12$ US, add 10$ US for shipping to Canada, add minimum 5$ canadian for custom tax. would be 30-35$ canadian.
I got no experience with HDTV, and I find this not really userfriendly.
