PhillyKev 0 #1 August 29, 2003 Ok, I have an ATI Radeon 9600 PRO vid card in a pc, and a Sony KE50XBR900 wide screen plasma tv connected through DVI. I get, constant horizontal scrolling, kind of like old tvs when the horizontal hold goes bad. If I use S Video, it doesn't do that, but the picture quality from a pc is crap with S Video. Anyone have any suggestions? ATI was no help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any chace whatseover you have a PAL NTSC issue (I doubt it, but you never know)? (I'd bet some of these plasma screens have a multi region setting) Did you try the patttended Dell Tech Support program?Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #7 August 29, 2003 QuoteQuoteCan you change the refresh rate some how? You should be able to on the ATI.... Yeah, you would think so, but you can't. At least not with the tv as the secondary display, regular monitor as primary. You can only adjust settings for the primary display. I'm going to try to switch it later and lower the refresh, resolution, and #colors to the lowest settings and if works, increase them a bit at a time.

Slappie 9 #9 August 29, 2003 QuoteIt works fine watching DVD's, cable, etc. The problem is using it as a computer monitor. Most large screen TVs that have the "monitor" ability can normaly only run a resolution of 800x600. If you go any higher you get the hz skip you described. From a distance it looks like lines are running down your screen. Try lowering your resolution and see how that works. Just my 2cents. I looked into buying a bigger higher priced TV set when I was replacing my old one. I thought it would be cool to also use it as a computer monitor.. Then I read the specs and found it's limitations. Their just not made for the resolutions a nice graphics card (GPU) can produce these days.

I had that problem with my projector system. We use Svideo, but I had to have a special power source put in to solve some interference issues I was having. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast!
