doah you guys were right......

I am definitely gonna look into getting a HD monitor instead of the HD TV I have. I just connected the new comp last night and aces looks like crap on it. My question is should I go with a large LCD monitor or the three screens using eyefinity? I just took a look and the 46 inchers cost about a grand. I really am leaning towards this so I can still use my ps3 on one setup. I have read you can connect the ps3 to a comp monitor as long as it has a dvi? I just want your thoughts... also I am having problems with windows 7 and I can't connect to my wireless network, I think my router isn't assigning my comp an IP and I get the message "limited connectivity" I checked the connection status and it doesn't receive any packets.... any suggestions? I spent a couple of hours last night Googling a solution.

depending on the model of your HD 46" TV, it should have a PC Mode.... in which you should be able to go thru and setup/calibrate to use as a PC Monitor..... chck your HD TV Manual

you bought this from CyberPowerPC, right?  Don't they offer lifetime tech support? I'd be getting on the phone and ask them why I would be having problems with a brand new PC/ brand New OS

are you using wireless? could be the placement of the PC from where the router is located


edit: just saw where u posted bout the router/etc....

...... not sure what else I could sugest without more details...


edit: what type of problems are you having with your Windows 7?

what brand/model of router do you have? info about the wireless adapter in the computer too.

what wireless security are you using on the router? wep, wpa, wpa2, radius?

[Silent6]

I have a netgear range Max router using wpa.... all other company in house work fine. I can't remember the wireless nic I think its called zonet..... I'm going to call tech support after work tonight.

on the screen part you can look up this 3 in 1 model, If I could I would get it I think

and indeed a PS3 will work on most screens via DVI and HDMI plug, TV's and Computer screen are very close connection and resolution wise nowadays

If the screen is bigger then 25" I get large headaches

For your connection issues, alot of wireless adapters don't support Win7 yet (and probably won't supply a new driver).  Post the model of your wireless adapter and I'll look for a workaround.  If it's easier, just pick up a new adapter that's Win7 compatible.  That'll fix ya right up.

Silent6:

If you haven't given up entirely on your HD TV, I think it would be worth trying one more thing: a VGA cable. I know you are *supposed* to get the best quality from HDMI, but in my case, in some reading I did on the web after getting just horrible quality on my 47" with HDMI, switching to a VGA cable brought back the smooth quality and good color I expected from the HD TV. It's really amazing to fly with it, and it's "only" $500 or thereabouts for a 47" class HDTV. Cheaper than the 3-monitors-in-one setup I imagine.

One warning: use a 6 ft or less cable. I ordered 2 longer cables on amazon, maybe 12 feet and 15 feet, and on both of them, even though they were nice and heavy, I couldn't get full 1920x1080 resolution from Windows. Missing pin or something apparently. The cheap old $3 6ft VGA cable works great!
