Need HD help.

I believe you will need to use component cables to get the 1080i resolution. Did your card come with one of these adaptors with component connections?

go to nvidia and download the latest drivers from there...I had a similar issue on my gigabyte 8600gt and the drivers from the nvidia site fixed it.
 
ok, i will try the drivers first. VGA should allow me to hit 1080i right?
 
Considering that the television is 4x3 HDTV (what a bastard of a format, no? Would be the only way my wife would accept an HDTV, the luddite), I'm guessing the native resolution is 600p based on the specs I looked up. 800x600 very well may be the native resolution.

As far as 1080i, please come back and let us know how that went, because I'd be really interested to see how the output comes out.
 
driver did nothing, I am stuck at 800 x 600. I can change the ratio to 16:9 would that allow me to have a 1080 resolution?
 
In the NVIDIA control panel, if you go to the Display drop down , then to Change Resolution, does it actually see the Zenith TV? For instance, I have a 30" Sony HDTV, and it shows as Sony TV. Do you get something similar?
 
I guess then I'd try switching it to 16x9 and see what you can come up with. If the NVidia drivers can't see the televisions native resolution though, it might be tricky. Honestly I'm out of ideas. Just try everything you can think of. Keep in mind though, 800x600 is still better than 480p, so at least your better off than straight DVD.
 
This is straight off the owners manual online for the tv

Is rgb a different cable. I know vga and svga are the same basically. My tv says it has something pluged in via SVGA.
 
RGB is probably the component cables, in which case, take the adapter that should have come with your video card and plug that in to the video card, then into the component input of the television.
 
Ok, I tryed the component (red, blue, green) with the s-video adapter and nothing out put to the tv. Now i had the vga and component both in the tv. I am going to try and hook up a monitor via vga and then the component to the tv. Will post again in a few
 
Remove the vga while it's connected to the television. You may be causing problems by presenting multiple paths.
 
ok component works, however words cant be read and when a video is played it is only in the middle of the screen about 5in by 5in
 
yes, but it is impossible to read anything (everything is very blurry) and the video in windows media player plays video only in the center of the tv and is very very small (5in by 5in)
 
Honestly at_viper, I'm out of ideas. Generally, the tube tv's are harder to get the right resolution on. For example, mine's native resolution is 1300something by 640something. It's tough to figure out. I'd just as soon get rid of the thing and get an LCD and move on. Computers on tube TVs is pretty tough at times.

Your VGA port is limited to 800x600 from the sounds of it. The not being able to read thing is a very well known problem with interlaced TVs, at 1080i or any other interlaced resolution your not going to be able to read text on a desktop which is why you should be using a frontend app to navigate this PC.
