You may remember my "HDTV as a monitor" thread a month ago. Well, I have being playing around and found a strange behavior. The 1080p HDTV is connected via HDMI to an onboard nVidia video card, NVIDIA GeForce 6150. Works fine for the full 1920x1080 screen. I previously also connected the 6150 via the VGA input of the HDTV. Both work just fine at 1920x1080.
Today, I tried to connect the now vacant VGA port of the HDTV to another computer with a SAPPHIRE 100206L Radeon HD 2600PRO with dual DVI ports. I am unable to use the full 1920x1080 resolution except in a panning mode. I have looked everywhere in the Catalyst Control Center and no matter what I select, I can not get to a 1920x1080 non-panning screen. Going one more step, I tried the "HDTV" output or the Radeon card, which utilizes a component cable, and had the same problem. I am disturbed that a video card labeled as "HDTV" will not display with full resolution when the onboard nVidia display handles it without a problem. Any suggestions? This is not a deal breaker as I have no NEED to run the HDTV from the second computer, but was contemplating purchasing a PCI video card to run three monitors from the second computer. If the best I can do with the Radeon HDTV card is pan and scan, I will be looking to nVidia for my next video card. Thanks Jim Maki [EMAIL PROTECTED]
