El Seducto

I have a HDTV Aquos LC-40D37U. It is 37" and 720.
Also, I have a standard Monitor.
Which Video Card do you recommend to use with both display (HDTV and standard Monitor).
I am specially interested to have super great quality picture in HDTV but monitor can be switched when I prefer use my monitor.
My HDTV has HDMI inputs and Red-Blue-Green inputs.
My monitor has VGA (No DVI).
Thanks for any help.
I do this question because I tried and old video card on HDTV and it showed medium video quality. The words were not very easy to read as compared in my monitor which show an excellent video quality.
Since I am not very interested in large size PC Games, which Video card would you recommend not very expensive?

Answer
I can use any newer Nvidia

What video card should I get for using my monitor as a TV?

Kevin

Computer specs: Dell Dimension 4700, 1GB RAM, 3.0GHz CPU, 160GB HD, WinXP Pro, DVD-ROM drive, PCI-Express.

Neither me nor my future wife EVER watch television, just movies, so we don't want to get a TV when we get married in a couple of months. We just want to get a good setup for watching DVDs on the computer.

Right now, I just have the Intel integrated video card which is VGA-only, and the quality on the DVDs isn't so great. Dark colors are washed-out, sometimes the video skips to catch up, etc. I have a 17" Dell Ultrasharp 1704 LCD digital-ready monitor (though I think we'll be getting a 20" widescreen because everything we watch is widescreen).

I want a video card that works well for watching DVDs and DivX files. I don't play any PC games so it doesn't need to be a super high-end card. I just want the cheapest card I can find that does what I need... Could I do something as inexpensive as a Radeon X300, or do I need something like a GeForce 6600, or something even better?

Answer
I like ATI products.

How much is a gaming rig?

Garf

How much do i need to spend to have a great gaming pc?

i already have a monitor so no need for that, just the rig.

sub question: how often will i need to upgrade to keep my system viable for new and top end games?

Answer
Building yourself with parts from NewEgg or Tigerdirect- usually it costs about $1300 to build something great for the more demanding games. A bit more if you want to build using the absolutely latest technology (an i7 based system) because being brand new, that stuff is in demand and overpriced.

You can go higher, but you're buying much smaller performance boosts for the dollar past the $1500 mark.

Figure to upgrade the video card yearly, other components once every couple of years.

To build a system that's great for 95% of games but only decent for the highest-end titles, the cost is much less- about $800.

How to stop clicking out of PC games?

Wraith-242

When im playing a PC game, like Fallout 3 or Oblivion, in full screen mode my mouse will be active on the Desk top. For example, when i keep Sliding the mouse to the left it will eventually show up on the left side of the monitor and if i click it will minimize the game and sometimes make it so i cant get back in. any help would be great!

Answer
You know, the only time I can see this happening is if you have the game in Windows mode, but then click the square box in the upper right hand corner to make it full screen. If this is the case, you aren't actually playing it in "full-screen" mode, but windows mode using the full screen. I'd check the game options and make sure you indeed have it in full screen mode. The only way you'd know your mouse is active on desktop is if you actually saw desktop. And if you see desktop, that means you aren't using full screen mode.
When you are in windows mode (using full screen), if you click on the border surrounding the game, it's very well possible to get kicked out of the game. Adjust the settings by unclicking "windowed" view when running the game and it will run the game in Full screen mode where you can't be popped to desktop simply by clicking the edges of the screen. Good luck, hope this helps!
