HDTV Output Capability on X800 PRO or 9800??
Does anyone know if there is the capability to connect this card to an HDTV via the RGB ( YPbPr) input on HDTV sets. I thought I read somewhere that there is even software with the X800 to configure this properly. Thanks Joe |

I used the VGA output to drive my Samsung DLP set, worked great for playing HDTV files. I'm pretty sure an adaptor is shipped with the x800 cards (ATI) to convert from 15 pin VGA to component RGB. |

Thanks!
Just Curious though as to why you sent it back.

I thought I read somewhere that there is even software with the X800 to configure this properly. Any of the ATI boards from 8500 on have been able to display on an HDTV using component inputs. I believe that earlier models can as well, the 8500 is the earliest that I'm sure of. In some cases the necessary adapter comes with the board, in others you have to order it off the ATI web site. The boards will detect the adapter and if it is detected then configuration is done the same way as for any other display, with appropriate settings appearing "automagically".

All you have to do is get a VGA to component transcoder and use powerstrip
to set the custom resolution you need for HDTV (do not use the ATI Dongle, it will not let you up-convert DVD) "J Wilson" wrote in message ...

Would it be possible to ditch a standard, computer CRT and just use a HDTV as
your primary monitor? Are HDTV's multi-synch or fixed frequency? Can they display text modes as well as 640x480 and 1024x768? How much would a 25" HDTV cost? Please respond by email as well as posting because I'm really interested in this particular topic (i.e. replacing my CRT w/some sort of HDTC [maybe a 25"]). In some cases the necessary adapter comes with the board, in others you have to order it off the ATI web site. The boards will detect the adapter and if it is detected then configuration is done the same way as for any other display, with appropriate settings appearing "automagically".

Please respond by email as well as posting because I'm really interested in this particular topic (i.e. replacing my CRT w/some sort of HDTC [maybe a 25"]). If it's the right TV, but quite honestly a 25" HD is not going to be much of an improvement over a 21" monitor unless you really want the 16:9 aspect ratio. As to the rest of your questions, it's a "definite maybe"--you have to read the specs on the particular set you're looking at. Some are full-fledged PC monitors that also have HD tuners. Others are very limited. As to how much a 25" HDTV would cost, did you at least _try_ to Froogle '25" HDTV'? In some cases the necessary adapter comes with the board, in others you have to order it off the ATI web site.
