Re: Gaming with LCD TV questions I have a Sony LCD TV (32") and it suffers from overscan; if you try to put up a 1920x1080 image, it will appear too big.
I have an nVidia card, and there's a utility that puts up a picture with arrows pointing to the 4 corners, and has sliders for vertical and horizontal. You can adjust the output of the card such that you get the full PC picture on the screen. I'd assume ATI has something similar. This was a stock utility in my nVidia control panel; not 3rd party.
When you're done adjusting, the video card says it's driving the screen at some oddball resolution - not 1920, but maybe 1866 or something strange like that.
The text is NOT crisp, but when you're playing games everything looks fine. However, be aware that fast motion can sometimes blur, most TV's don't seem to have the response time that a dedicated monitor does. |
