I posted this under "Displays" and got nowhere, mabey its better posted here...


Can anybody give me some links on clearing up my widescreen CRT TV when my PC is hookd to it, Like how to force the res's and all that jazz, its fuzzy and I can barely make out the words on it. I have my PC hooked to it via a DVI cable, my rig is in my sig for specs, it should be more than enough to game at 1280X720, a step by step guide would be nice. I am willing to read all I can to get this to work. my tv can do 1080i, 720p. I would love to be able to widescreen game, on the ones you can. Links are very welcome. I'll take all the help I can get.

Thanks to all.

P.S. guys I cant upgrade till summer.(total rebuild coming)

Also I thought about calling customer support to help in the matter at hand. Good Idea?
 
Heh.. this is the EXACT same problem I'm having, bump to the top for a good thread :D
 
You are experiencing the drawback of having a CRT TV. Even though it's HDTV and does 1080i, the it's really not that sharp for computer use.
I've got a 30" HDTV and run 1280x720P via a DVI-HDMI cable.

Yeah thats what mine is a 30" , looks like yours is a CRT too, So do you think a HDMI cable will help that much?
 
HDMI and DVI are pretty much the same, just different connectors.
using Analog component will probably yield the same quality.
For comparison, I hooked up the S-Video from the card to the TV and it pretty much looks like the HDMI input. S-video runs out of my card at 1024x768 compressed to 720x480 with a slight underscan so there is a slight black border.

Try all the different connection options and see what works best for you.
