ATI 8500DV and DVI output
Hey folks!
I have a sony KV-32HS500 hdtv that is basically a crt type that has DVI input. I am using it as a display for my computer which has an ATI 8500DV video card with DVI output. When i connect the dvi output of the video card to the dvi input of the hdtv, the picure looks great, but i am limited to a resolution of only 640x480 which is practically useless. I've tried powerstrip which does not seem to help. I've also used the DVI-HDTV component video dongle without much success. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! adrian |

First thing is to check the Sony docs to see what resolutions are supported via DVI. Then you need to set the ATI board to one of those using Powerstrip. adrian -- -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

John,
thanks for the advice. The Sony docs do not give a DVI resolution. In fact, it flatly states that the DVI input was not meant for computer usage. I've already used Powerstrip extensively. Still can't figure out how to get it to work with my setup. Any further advice? thanks... adrian "J.Clarke" wrote in message d... On Mon, 22 Dec 2003 04:19:28 GMT "Adrian Nguyen" wrote: Hey folks!

You might want to ask this question over on the HTPC forum in http://www.avsforums.com but search there first--it may already have been answered. adrian "J.Clarke" wrote in message d...
