Toketopia Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I wouldnt use a tv... You will get motion blur and will have to sit far away to make it look good. The input lag and unnatural movement sucks. Go with a large 2ms monitor if you must have "big" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinlynn Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 even if you can. it's still an analog signal. **** Analog or not, when looking at a PC screen, the VAG connection will be crisper than HDMI. DisplayPort is even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely the PC's vid card is the issue there and not the TV, IMHO. Also if using HDMI that does not have as high a frequency u might see this from a PC connection.

HarassMe Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 most newer cards and tv's will have an hdmi connection or some sort of dvi-hdmi or display port to hdmi. the main question is whether or not your rig can play swtor at 1920x1080 max'd playing it on a bigger tv is no different than on a monitor at the same resolution. If it runs smoothly on a 22" monitor, it will run smoothly on the tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threefiddie Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Analog or not, when looking at a PC screen, the VAG connection will be crisper than HDMI. DisplayPort is even better. absolutely no. digital > analog both appearance and bandwidth. this is why we have dvi and hdmi... and of course display port is better. but WHAT tv has display port (very few if any). only monitors do and only certain monitors Edited January 24, 2012 by Threefiddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaveymellow Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I use a 46" samsung to play on. It works great, I have it hooked up through HDMI and haven't had any problems. My computer is specced out similar to the OP, and am able to run full out and average about 45-50fps, except in Vaiken space dock, where it drops considerably.

BadNewzzz Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Some of the advice here... i don't know what to say... VGA ***? that was old and useless 10 years ago. just because it work doesn't mean it is good. And two tips for some ppl DVI and HDMI is the same thing, only different is that HDMI also send sound, picture quality is the same. And a 0 or 1 is a 0 or 1 even if you have a cheap cable or a very expensive one. you don't get a nicer looking 0 if you buy a expensive cable OP size or your TV/Monitor does not matter at all, it is the resolution that matters and almost all TV and cheap monitors have 1080. It is not more work for your gpu to write a picture on a 20" monitor then a 50" if they are both in 1080. And you do not get any more information, both picture are exactly the same it is just that on your TV ever pixel is 4 times larger. So you need to sit far away or it will look like crap but then you have the problem with small text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedricshots Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 so much misinformation being tossed around. Anyone with a decent gfx card will not even have the option to use a vga out since....well...the standard is outdated. So im supposed to convert a dvi signal out to a vga and use that? LOL?

All digital connections carry a VGA / Analoge signal and the real big difference is that HDMI also carries audio. However if you do your homework you will discover that HDMI cannot support resolutions beyond 1080p where as PC vid cards can. Why? Because VGA from a Vid Card on a PC has a higher freqency range than standard HDMI compliant connections. DisplayPort is an improvement to HDMI in that it will support resolutions beyond 1080p and carry audio. I will forgive your ignorance as the real misinformation is that coming from appliance makers making you believe that HDMI is the best when in fact it is not. HDMI is just more common.

It has two dual link dvis and an hdmi. but for your misunderstood wierdos who think vga > hdmi or analog>digital the card comes with dvi to vga... which brings the question, why are these even included anymore?

HDMI is just more common. no crap moron. we all know hdmi is limited. Look at 3d and its frame packing 3d for ps3 cause of the limit of hdmi. Why do you think pc 3d uses DUAL LINK DVI cause of the bandwidth being greater than single dvi or hdmi. NOONE uses a damn analog signal anymore! that's why we created digital so there was NO conversion anymore. JUST STRAIGHT DIGITAL ALSO This topic has NOTHING to do with display port. NOTHING.

Most of the newest portables come with DisplyPort now and TVs are starting to support that connection type. Did not say to convert anything, only that if you have a VGA out, that it will provide a better image than HDMI. Try harder at reading what I say instead of what you want to hear.

Pink_Saber Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 The difference is in the bandwidth of the cable. You will not notice a difference in picture quality. Have you actually tried both? There's a huge difference in quality between VGA and HDMI. *HUGE*. Never use a VGA cable if HDMI is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedricshots Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 do you think he's trolling or just plain stupid? im not sure, i thought anyone with some computer knowledge, even basic, would know that vga was outdated YEARS ago.

LOL we have convered this several times. we know display port is > hdmi. just like dual link dvi is > single link dvi OR hdmi. and not EVERY tv in 2012 has a vga. the 4 high end 1080p in my house don't, not even my home theater projector has it.

Lol derp. when are you going to realize that hdmi and dvi are the same damn thing. same thing internally. just different connector and hdmi carries audio. and find a tv that does greater than 1280x720 with vga. you won't.
