Phoenix on a 42" HD TV

[Sneeks]

I decided to plug my laptop into my 42" HD TV tonight and have some fun with Phoenix, I'd highly recommend it Not sure what's happened to my wall in the photo but it's certainly not that colour.

If your TV and computer have HDMI connections then it's very easy.

depends on your vid card and tv....
mine is nvidia card and a philips tv
and i use an HDMI cable with an DVI to HDMI adapter on the computer end.
then tell the nvidia control panel to output 1080P

Just checked video card and its a ati radeon hd2400 and my tele is a Toshiba lcd not sure whats at the back of the computer tho!!

Looks like it should have a HDMI output on your graphics card

i run phoenix at 1080p on my tv via a 9850hd card. the good thing about these are the card also carries sound via the hdmi cable so you also get sound via the tv. my pc also is a fully functional MS media centre with bluray hence the 1080p.

tbh though it looks sharper on my 24" ultrasharp dell monitor than ANY tv picture. monitors just have that edge for the sim.

cheers

Sorry to be so dumb but what do I ask for in the shop......Do i just get a lead and plug one end into the video card output and one end into the TV hdmi. adjust the ??? in the video card and shud be away........tks for keeping me going on this.......

[Sneeks]

Yeah that's all I had to do. HDMI from the laptop into my HD TV, find settings from the PC output which work best on your TV and then launch the sim.
