Hey all,
I wasnt sure exactly which forum to put this in, so feel free admins to move this around, because it encompasses more than one thing. Anyways, i got a new monitor (benq 24") and i thought my dvd quality would look amazing on this, but its actually horrible. I have a 8800gt, and i dual screen with vga cables. Anyway i can make the image quality better when i play dvd's? (my resolution is all the way up btw). Thanks a lot
 
DVDs (480i) is going to look bad upscaled to your BenQ's 1920 x 1200 resolution. This is where HD becomes important.
 
try something besides vga. like dvi or hdmi if you have it.

and like vick said. what are you using to play the dvd? PowerDVD is IMHO the best. but it costs more than a few bucks. Everything I play on PDVD looks amazing.

I disagree with syntax. Or at least I think I do. It might look bad on benq's. but that isn't par for the course. I've had several monitors. one that I still use now is a viewsonic thats about 2 years old. and DVDs look exactly how I would expect. Which is really good. better than on my 720p TV. and my monitor is only 1050res.

It looks like a situation is already happening where manufactures dont really care about standard dvd playback.
 
hum, so windows media player isnt doing justice to my dvd's? Also, how is it that i can change from VGA's to hdmi, it seems like i only have vga outputs.
 
What exactly is wrong with the DVD quality?

Your graphics card has two DVI outputs. Your monitors should've come with DVI cables.
 
Regardless of what you do, you are displaying low resolution content on a high resolution display.

No matter what you do, the DVD is low res.
