HDTV settings

by Lakaii • 22 Sep 2007, 14:31 • Journals
I want to watch ETTV on my TV, but it lags like crazy, which I guess is due to wrong settings in ET for the TV. I'm not sure what refresh rate the TV has, but this is some of the TVs specifications:

Size (diagonal): 32" (81 cm)
Panel Resolution: 1366 x 768
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Mega Pixel (No. of Pixels): 1.05 million
Response Time (typical): 6.5ms
Contrast Ratio (typical): 1200:1
Brightness (typical): 550cd/m²
Max. Colors / Color Depth: 16.7M
Supported Timing: SD: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, HDTV 720p, 1080i
Horizontal sync. Frequency: 45-50KHz
Vertical sync. Frequency: 47-63Hz

I've tried changing the refresh rate in windows to 60, 70, 72 and 75 but it didn't help :(
Give me some commands for using ET on a LCD TV :)

Hmm, I can handle resolutions up to 2048x1536 in Display properties, but I can't actually select 1366x768 there. Do I have to use the exact same resolution to make it work?

nope, it's not a built-in resolution in any gfx driver. If you have an nvidia card you can use 1368 and cut 2 pixel lines out using rivatuner (google for instructions). Or you could just set 1360.

I've tried with the VGA from my graphics card to the VGA input on the TV, and I've tried with S-Video from the same card to the scart input on the TV, both is lagging (looks like FPS lag, even though it's not)

Lakaii.

Du kan prøve først med 1024x768 med 60hz for så å bevege deg oppover for å se om pc'en/ tv'en klarer høyere oppløsning. Jeg lagger på alt når jeg kjører for høy oppløsning .
Prøv å hold deg til 60 hz.

Er ikke sikker på at dette funker for deg, men funket for meg. Hvis ikke så er det noen instillinger på grafikkortet.
