hooking up pc to plasma
im getting no pic when i plug my pc into my plasma
video card is nvidea gx440 i know its an old card and my tv is a plasma samsung 530 tv says mode not found..works in safe mode but wont keep the settings |
Hmmm, is the gx440 even capable of playing at the correct res?
|
got it working for now but can u recommend a good video card or should i just upgrade my motherboard
|
It all depends on what your budget is.
|
i'm pretty sure all geforce 4 series were AGP slot. All new video cards now are PCI-E.
If you upgrade your mobo now, you'll have to build a new computer |
ATI X1550 is an excellent AGP card. Retails around $50
|
even a GF5200 card will handle the job
|
...it would also depend on what you intend to watch. If you wanted to watch HD stuff, you would need a new comp.
|
no Hd stuff..are most video cards just plug and play?
|
Well, you need to install the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website
|
if works in safe mode (640x480 or 800x600) but not in normal windows mode. I'm betting your windows resolution is too high to work on the TV... try lowering it.
|
I have seen some problems with the S-Video TV out "auto detecting" on older video cards. About 1/2 of the GF4 cards have this problem.
|
If it's working for you and you are happy with it, just use it for now.
