Hi all!
I need your help :-)))
Does anybody know how to switch to 720x400 resolution?
The Sony LCD TV support this resolution in order to use the widescreen
format but I can't make my PC understand to switch to this resolution.
It seems not to be supported.
No problem with 1024x768 or 800x600 resolution...Thanks again for your
help and sorry for my english :-(
Ciao

Your video card must support the 1.6 HD display format, and it does not
do this. The best that it will support is 1.33 standard format that
displays the black bars on the left and right sides on your TV. You
will need a video card that will support HD format in order to do what
you want to do.

Q

:'((((

Thanks for your quick reply! :-)
Since I would use this graphic card only to see DVDs, TV (with a
dedicated digital TV tuner) and a few other things, could you suggest
me a cheap AGP card?
Thanks again.

You might actually want a TV tuner card with HDTV cable card support
(presuming either over-the-air HDTV or cable HDTV is available) and
digital output if the Sony supports it, and a separate DVD player that
supports the Sony. display (720p, 1080i, etc). I'm not enough of an
expert in driving media from a computer to be any more help, sorry.

Thanks Q!
Nothing sorted out yet...
Last try:
as soon as I'll find a DVI card I'll do the last experiment.
Use the DVI cable instead of the VGA.
Thanks again.
Ciao
