Swapping out 23" monitor for 32" LCD
« on: January 07, 2016, 07:47:20 AM »
I assume I'll need to change my current monitor resolution of 1920-1080 to match the TV's 1366-768 in AH vid settings?

Current FOV is 106. Change or leave it be?

Thanks

Leave FOV at 106. That is a low res TV, I'd stick with the monitor.

I had a similar TV I tried on a PC years ago. I think it was 1360 by 768 but the PC ran it at a lower resolution.

 I wouldn't do it with a 768 res TV. I just switched from a 24 inch monitor to a 40 HDTV and it worked fine. But you need HD or better and a video card that can handle it.

Any text will look very garbled on that tv. And your game will look like Minecraft.

If you can hook up from the computer to the TV with an HDMI cable the resolution might be able to remain at 1920 x 1080

Not if the native resolution of the TV is only 1366x768.

I used a LCD with 1360x768 native res. Worked great. What you need to check on is the response time, not refresh rate.
The LCD I used above had an 8ms response time.

The LED I use now is around 19ms response time.??????

 The one thing you'll probably lose will be clear text. I haven't fixed that(if it is fixable) But the picture is nice.

hmmm several have mentioned this. I noticed no loss of text clarity, I used the lcd for years, my ma uses it now, it is 40". the text is fine.......
either way the modern stuff is just too goooood. you'd have to use a hammer at install to mess it up. he he
luck
