Wow, am I over my head. I thought this would be a LOT easier than what it's turning out to be...YIKES!!! :( First things first: I am using a Hitachi 51F59 http://www.hitachi.us/tv/browse/projection/16-9digital/51F59.shtml with my BFG GeForce 6800GT 256MB AGP and the official Nvidia 93.71 drivers... I can get it to display on the Hitachi, but the screen image is so freaking large I can't do anything else with it. Is there a step-by-step guide for "hooking up your HDTV to an Nvidia Graphics" card available? Or, are there any gurus in the Metro-Detroit Michigan for hire? I was looking to go to Geek Squad, but everyone seems to warn me that they won't know what they're doing when it comes to this stuff - but I don't have a clue either...!!!! Thanks for any "first" steps. Steve |

OK...making substantial progress now, holy moly it is incredible! Sorry to see no support or even a single response here for my questions... :( I have found other discussion forums that are a lot more lively, and helpful - but I am glad this forum exists and hope it can continue to help others though. Bye for now...and happy HDTV PC Gaming! :P |

if you wanted to actually use it as a high resolution monitor, you will need to use the hdmi input (as well as a video card that has hdmi). Otherwise since you have no VGA input, you are restricted to low resolution Svideo inputs. |

Yea, thanks to both of you for the reply. Actually, I'm all set with the connection using DVI-HDMI Connection. Last night I was able to fully correct my overscan issue that had been a struggle since I received the TV - I have now resolved that using a combination of the latest 93.71 Nvidia driver, Powerstrip and the TV's menu/settings. It is a sight to behold - and well worth all the effort. |
