| Post subject: | LCD-TV: Philips 5331, Connection DVI to HDMI |
Hello I am thinking of buying a philips LCD (5331 ==> http://tinyurl.com/25cw4h). Since I have not really occupied myself with getting a LCD until now, I have some "stupid" questions about this whole HDMl-thing: * I have a DVI-graphic card. Is it possible to use the LCD as monitor with DVI/HDMI converter cable? * As for the TV-out, the whole connection will be slightly different than on my current CRT-TV. Where do I have change the settings? * What else do I have to keep in mind? Thanks in advance |

I have a HDMI TV (Hyundai E320D), and I haven't yet worked through getting the right modeline/output to drive it properly, but I do know one thing: Using VGA and DVI etc., the video card probes the monitor and asks for its resolution modes available. When I use a DVI->HDMI cable, the TV does not send back any mode information. I don't know whether this is a a limitation in general, or just my setup. Sorry I don't have more knowledge. I'll be working through trying to set up a modeline manually etc. in the next few weeks... I think, if you can find a TV with DVI input, that's the best. |
