Kevin Bishop Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I have just swapped my 26" CRT TV (which broke) for a 32" LCD TV and I have noticed that with the larger screen, the picture is great at a distance, but pixelated close up, especially around movement. The resolution varies between 720x576 and 544x576, which is much lower than teh desktop resolution. Is this the resolution that is broadcast or can I increase it? I have seen on this forum that ffdshow can improve resolution, but having tried ffdshow before, I found several channels that don't have any sound through their decoder, so I am reluctant to switch. Am I being ultra fussy, or should I expect a crystal clear picture? Thanks in advance, Kevin. Quote Link to comment

avoidz Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I've noticed the pixelation on LCD monitors, and I have to say it's a very disappointing image to watch after years of just about perfect images on CRTs (I still love my CRT). Quote Link to comment

avoidz Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 It'd be good to have something in between the two. Some DVDs look pretty awful on LCD monitors, too. Quote Link to comment
ricabullah Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) It'd be good to have something in between the two. Some DVDs look pretty awful on LCD monitors, too. You just need a hardware acceleration capable video card and PowerDVD Ultra. Use a DVI to HDMI cable. Edited January 26, 2008 by ricabullah Quote Link to comment
