Guest Jack Stand Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 TV= Samsung HL-R5067 this tv does not support PC thru the hdmi/dvi input so I'm in thru the pc in via 15-pin d-sub connector. In this mode the spec says it supports 1024 x 768. Will I see improvement if I force a custom resolution with Powerstrip of something close to the tv's native res of 1280X720p??? This is basically a gaming pc only. in advance, thanks for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazypoloc Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 As long as you are running the native res of the monitor then you should be fine. Thats odd that your HDMI port does not support PC input. Have you checked to make sure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
momoceio Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Ignore the manual where it says it doesn't support PC input. I have a Samsung plasma and my manual says the same thing but I hooked it up and was gaming on my plasma in no time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazypoloc Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Yeah I think what that means is that it cannot pass most DRM protected HD content over the DVI/HDMI input. I hate content protection. Haven't they figured out that if we want we will just get around it anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jack Stand Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I ordered a hdmi to dvi cable to give it a try. We'll see if it works. What I was getting at in my original post was that of the overscan issue. If I tried the native res of 1280x720 using the "pc in" then the overscan of the hdtv caused much of the content around the edges to be lost...so I lowered it to 1024x768 and the whole image will then fit with a small black border around the screen. Thanks for the input..Ill report back after I try the new cable... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazypoloc Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Ok if the new cable doesn't work why not just use your catalyst overscan compensation settings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jack Stand Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 OK so the new cable did the trick...1280 x 720p of graphic bliss:rolleyes:...the PC thru hdmi/dvi - in is supported. Samsung shame on you for telling me it would not work!!! ( and on me for not attempting this sooner..) Not sure which version of CCC I'm running but I did not see any compensation for overscanning...maybe I need to update??? Bottomline....it works.........yippie!!!
