[Ecrutacio]

[rezelute]

Does it feel uncomfortable sitting infront of a screen that big? Also Is browsing text blurry at all?

[DarkCloudPhenom88]

[zeropatience23]

Using a DVI to HDMI cable worked!!

Thanks for the help!

[roadrunner197069]

@zeropatience23

Your welcome.

[zeropatience23]

I tried to contact you via Yahoo Messenger, but it said I was denied.

I will email you instead. I appreciate the help.

[zeropatience23]

I just hooked my 42" Vizio 1080p LCD to my computer, but I have like a one inch black strip at the bottom of the screen that won't go away.

The resolution is the highest, and if I lower it the strp still does not go away.

Doesn't look like you have this problem...

Did you fix it or did it just work for you?

I tried lowering the position of my screen but my windows taskbar just goes behind the black strip.

[roadrunner197069]

@zeropatience23 What are your PC stats? I can help you.

[zeropatience23]

@roadrunner197069

I am running Windows 7(64-bit)

1 TB of Hard Drive

4 Gigs of RAM

Intel i5 quad-core cpu

and a Nvidia GTX 260

You can hook up any computer to a TV as long as it has VGA or HDMI inputs.

[szor1]

You can do this with any tv with the right inputs, DUH!

[roadrunner197069]

@szor1

No shit Sherlock. You really felt the need to state the obvious???????????

[szor1]

@Filnizer No, you get a graphics card with HDMI input. VGA is only up to 1080i.

[JohnF30Music]

do you notice any lag? Many TV's have lag

[roadrunner197069]

@Filnizer  VGA is capable of alot higher resolution the regular 1080p resolution.

[mplsridah]

I have the same tv, how did u connect the tv to the laptop? did u use RGB cable?

[roadrunner197069]

@mplsridah

Its not hooked to a laptop, but a vga cable will work fine.

[OtomoTenzi]

NOT ENOUGH CONTRAST!!!

[639426]

What video card are you using? Do you play anytype of pc games with this monitor?

[roadrunner197069]

ATI 4870, Yes I play games.

[xdartgun]

I thought this was a hd tv. Not a Monitor?

[roadrunner197069]

It is a HDTV, but it can be used as a monitor.

[bromanlaca]

are you streaming the dvd's from netflix or are those ripped?

[jawbraeka]

when are Video Cards in PC's turning to HDMI? would make gaming more clearer and also a bunch easier as there are no screws etc... can you do a hd version of this clip would present your tv in a much better light or eve do a review also to show the tv's true capability.

[massimo247]

VERRY GOOD FANTASTIC TV  LCD

[AppleFan55]

hahaha cool my uncle has a custum media comp with 5 tb mem. and on a 50 inch.

[b33k3rz]

how much does something like that cost? im thinking of building an HTPC for this t.v. if i get one

[AppleFan55]

around 1200

[IshidaTheQuincy]

And I thought I got a big monitor when I switched to 22".

[dananm]

Got it, thanks! so you have not considered using RCA at all. I will give the mini to mini connection a try. thx

[roadrunner197069]

You cant use video from one channel like HDMI, and use sound from RCA cause its its vid1. You got to use audio and video from the same channel.

[dananm]

Hello! Great setup! I have the same tv but although I was able to get the video signal through DVI-HDMI I was NEVER able to get the sound from the PC to the Vizio! How did you do you that? Did you use the RCA L/R next to HDMI and then a Y adapter to mini to your PC? Please let me know how you got the sound to work, I'd appreciate it! thx

[roadrunner197069]

Theres a PC audio port next to the VGA port. Run line out to line in. Or get a Video card that has true HDMI and run it that way.

I run on VGA because I didn't like the look of text on Full resolution. I have a better PC in my PC room maybe I'll experiment with it.

[Thatt1Kid]

i have that tv

[mejdam]

nice i just bought that tv at Costco for $680 after sales tax and california e waste tax. Awesome tv!!!

[Partyywizard]

damn 42 is a lot bigger then i thought!

[Farkel111]

you're so lucky, I'm still stuck with shitty CRT monitors

[Matt805]

I just bought this T.V today & hooked it up with an S video cable. I just can't seem to get the resolution to look good when its on the desktop or a browser window is open.. How'd you get it to be good resolution???

[roadrunner197069]

S-video is analog, you need digital.

I use VGA, or HDMI.

Svideo cant go full 1080p size without loosing quality.

[XboxMatt360]

Thanks man. Im buying a longer vga cord tomorrow. I'm gonna post a video of my T.V tomorrow to.

[mejdam]

if you have a DVI connection then buy a DVi to HDMI cable

[Matt805]

Fuck yeah. Its what I got. I'll post my video tomorrow of my 42"

[ozzylongbeach]

right click ur desk top,choose personalize,then apearance,enjoy

[misseasyer]

42" is lame dude, i have projector, so my screen is bigger than you'rs even when its on min zoom.but when its at its full 300" size its still not bigger than you'r head.

[roadrunner197069]

Good for you. You want a cookie? Have fun watching your CRAPPY Projector at 720p resolutions in daylight, lol. I could buy a $400 projecter to if I really wanted to.

Atleast mine is usable 24/7.

[ozzylongbeach]

hahahhahha i agree

[anonymousrache]

I'm using the 32" with a vga but the color is a little fucked up.

any tips? I tried different resolutions but that seems to make no dif. besided the resolution looks good, just the colorss are off

[ozzylongbeach]

it depends on how ur pc is puting out the quality.u might need 2 upgrade 2 a better outout from ur pc.the tv is doin fine though

[jon204]

change the contrast brightness ect even thou i dont have vizio i work with the settings of my hdtv is emesrson 32 in with hdmi not vga vga color is not that good

[K1495]

i do the same but on my mac. its so cool.

[roadrunner197069]

Do it, and i will send you a pic of my 42" Vizio running on my Uber Intel Core i7 build.

I will also put something besides a computer desk in for reference, since you seem to think they make 28" computer desks.

Anyone that cant tell a TV is spanning accross a entire desk and calls it 28" isn't to bright at all.

[roadrunner197069]

Ok Retard. Since when do they make a 24" Computer desk? You can clearly see the desk you idiot. The keyboard is also 20". You win the idiot of the day prize.

[CWCandMRSAFETYRULES]

that aint no 42, maybe a 28 or somthing

[roadrunner197069]

Retard. Look at the desk.

[CWCandMRSAFETYRULES]

retard, go to the zoo, ur a liar

[roadrunner197069]

Your so blind from your utter jealousy, you cant even tell the facts. A 28" dont span accross a hole desk.

Have fun on your 15" CT to jealous child. Ask your mommy for a 42" if you want one that bad.

[rod1027]

hey dud .. can u show me or tell me what connection/cable u used? s-video or rgb?

im planning to do the same. thanks!

[lolmoper]

wtf dats not 42" my tv is a vizio 42" and its like 3 times bigger dan dat no lie dat monitor is a 24"inch

[badAss890]

cool background....DAH!!!!

[hardcorefrokid]

If you have to do normal work on there you have to sit way back.

[ogshady2005]

Are those movies rips? I'm confused. How that hell?

[t0bone]

Lol i have over 400 films! on mine it's a beast i wish i had bob the builder tho'!

[StonedLaughter]

Woah, what was that program when selecting the movies, and how do you have so many?

[chrizftw]

[gfaustini]
