Cool! Do you watch all of your DVDs on your computer or do you have a TV you use for your regular movie viewing?
Peace...

 hey, sycho, speaking of that, Dell now sells a 20" 16x10, and 24" 16x10 aspect ratio monitor (the latter is capable of displaying a true full HD image). The 20" is a 17" LCD, just wider (comparing the height of the monitors, that is)...as long as your 5200 has DVI output, it's compatible with both displays. The 20" is $505 (give or take, the price changes daily), and the 24" hovers around $1000 (which is a steal, considering Samsung's and Apple's 23" is $800 more)

sycho, true HD is 1920x1280, something your CRT won't be capable of supporting (besides, a VGA connection would have a hard time transmitting that signal...DVI is a necessity). Besides, a DVD is still 720x480, no matter how much you scale it up.
Also, to get burn-in on a colour CRT you'd have to have a high-contrast image on that sceen for 7-10 years - and even then it would be incredibly faint... btw, here's dell's canadian link to the widescreen monitors: http://accessories.dell.com/sna/prod...198&first=true

just to be clear - you're mixing my words up here.
1. i said 1920 x 1280, not 1080. 2. Your CRT can't do 1920x1280. It would explode... 3. Only DVI can send 1920x1280 to a widescreen LCD monitor. 4. I never said VGA couldn't transmit HD. I was specifically talking about widescreen LCD monitors. I'll let the guys at AVS tell you that. 5. wmvhd.com = awesome!!! not. seriously, the imax movies get kinda boring after the 5th time.

So the room got an overhaul again, I'll be getting a couch soon, then it will be wicked
 So here is just walking into the room: Got the some computer as above, but dropped the cramped ness and added my older Yammy RX-V493 and some not-so-crappy futureshop speakers, as seen here (with the awesome twisted pixel plugin for WMP): There is a Yammy HTiB sub hidding behind the left speaker. The future location of the future couch: Did I mention that this is my bedroom?  HiDef Trailers, LOTSLast edited by Sycho : 03-11-2006 at 02:40 AM. |
