Re: Using a TV for a Computer monitor
This card (ATI AIW) has a built-in television signal tuner/decoder. It is
not primarily designed for PC display to TV. Its primary intent was to tune
and decode TV signals for PC monitor display. The card can be forced to act
the purpose you're seeking. Its an expensive way to get what you're looking
for.
The sales quack is a little correct, ATI does make a card for the purpose
you want PC display to TV. A more reasonably priced card by ATI for that
purpose is the 9200 or even less expensive 9200SE card. Only TV out is
SVideo on the card. The 9200SE also has DVI out and standard monitor VGA
out ports.
There are other display adapter manufacturers as well that may make similar
product. I had a ATI AIW at one time. Now have the 9200SE. I would
recommend the 9200SE as its a good all around performer for the buck. See
the ati.com website, its in the home product line.
If you choose to buy, buy it elsewhere, not the ati site.
