TV as a monitor clarity

[Darth Revan]

Is there any way to take a TV and run it through a AIW 9800Pro and still read the text and words on the screen. Because I did this with the ATI 9200 and couldn't figure out how to make it less blurry. Do I need a HD television or somthing. Thanx :)

I have an HDTV (49inch wide/falt screen) and i once in a while use that as a monitor for playing games. Its impossible to read anything. Would that problem also be fixed by changing the resolution, or would i have to go to the small 29 inch upstairs?

[Hi Ho]

What resolution are you running it at when you have it connected to the TV?

I'm using a 50'' DLP Samsung HDTV and I've tried with composite and s-video cables. They don't work. But it works very well with a DVI cable. You can read the finest of prints. In fact, it runs 720p so DVDs look better on my computer than on my 480p DVD player.

do HDTVs have a dvi jack on them? or do you use like an svidio convirter or somethen like that??? i am also looking to use a tv as a moniter but if i spend the $ on a hdtv will i be able to read it???

PM me with the answer if you would thanks

Some HDTV's have a DVI input. Not all of them do. Component video inputs are more common but not as good as DVI because they are analog. See THIS (http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=113495) guide for more info on connections. I have never used an HDTV as a monitor so I'm not sure how the text would look.
