Ever connected your 42'' plasma to your computer? - GoFuckYourself.com

Here is my "42HDS69" plasma Hitachi TV. Here how it looks :

Now here is the Digital Audio/Visual HDMI-to-DVI-D Single Link Cable

My video card is : Nvidia 7900 GTX

When I connect everything, how come picture on my TV is blurry. Color is out of place. Everything seems as though moved slightly to the left, and has a reflection to it. I would assume my video card should be more then capable of having my TV as my computer screen. Do I need to download a driver? I have been looking for a driver but I had no luck of finding one. Anyone know?

I often connect my laptop to my plasma TV and I have never had any issues. I have never tried connected my stationary computer but if it works with my laptop, it should work with any computer without installing any drivers.

Perhaps your video card can't auto-detect the resolution of the plasma TV? What you're seeing sounds as if it's making a best guess (or doing the best it can).

You may want to check what the desired refresh rate is for the TV, as well as the actual screen size. Some of these systems will try to fill the screen even if you don't send a full size, which will lead to stretching and color issues. Check your manual and make sure your screen size is set to match.

You may need a driver as well, to support the screen (display type)

"You may need a driver as well, to support the screen (display type)" that is what I need to find. I know about everything else now. anyways thank you. I am tired of trying to make my TV as a monitor. I don't care any more.

Yes. I know. To leave on a single picture for some time. It might burn through the tv. each pixel gets hot. I would hate if my tv had a pixel burned out. LCD different story to it. you said it. anyways I am done trying to make my tv as a monitor.

what I learned is. buy a dvd player that plays all avi, dvix, mpg and all other craps and use TV to watch it. Waste of time and money trying to set up a 42'' tv to a computer, plus their is a risk of having your pixles burned out. Movies have things moving all the time. computer monitor screen. Pixels will burn through tv.
