A Sea Of Red

Ok...I bought a plasma when they first came out and it doesnt have a DVI VGA hookup...it does however have a S-Video what type of quality could I expect using a S-Video hookup from my PC? I just bought one of those media center PC's and would like to use it for that....if I cant then I'll just get a LCD or something.

Serviceable, but not good.

I think S video is a notch above red, white, yellow, but a notch below everything else.

Do you know of any other options I have without having a DVI/VGA output or input

Wireless HDMI.

If it's anything like my plasma (which is 3 years old) it doesn't have HDMI input either.

I have HDMI....wireless HDMI? how does that work and what cards have that?

we all know your ballin, just buy a new huge LCD

Or a new huge plasma, it will have all the same inputs. The key word is 'new'. I'll take your old one if you don't need it.

If I get a new plasma then i'd feel redic having a TV that's like 1/50 the value of the home! LOL



LUalums do you have any more info on the wireless HDMI's?

Buy a more expensive house.

Rent free....hard to talk myself into moving away from that right now...but yes those are all options....now can anyone tell me more about the Wireless HDMI? How is the quality from a PC HDMI to TV HDMI? Just like it would be from VGA?

I hear bunny ears have the best quality. You should try those.

Who else saw the title of this thread and thought it was about some Blue Hose student trying to find a way to pay his tuition this fall?

This is just one example, of course there aren't a lot of options for this out there.

New TV sounds like the best option, and plasmas and lcds are the same price when you compare like sizes.

s video like luconn said is slightly better than composite.

even most old plasma's however will have dvi. which most cards nowadays will have.

dvi is this.

i'm retard and didn't read...

LoL...its ok...has anyone tried reading text from a computer on a 720p through HDMI?

That was a pretty good deal. I might've jumped on it myself if (1) I had the money, (2) it had HDMI and (3) it had Blu-ray and upscaling.

Right now I have an old Compaq connected to the VGA input on my LCD. It gets the job done, but there's no widescreen monitor support, so it's all in the standard aspect ratio.

OK...I installed the new card and went from DVI to HDMI and it looks great on the 42in Plasma...even though it's 720p you'd never know...it's pretty sweet and the fonts/text is easy to read which I was a little nervous about
