HDMI PC to TV

[_bondy_]

HDMI output from a vaio laptop to HDMI interface on a 32" HD TV = what i see on laptop is what i see on tv? ie....will i be able to use the tv to show exactly what my laptop screen displays? cheers guys.

you should beable to two things:

1. Mirror your display

2. Extend your display - use boths screens as one monitor.

Obviously

 

[Scutch]

In a word yes. It displays everything thats on your laptop screen in a much bigger world

Bear in mind you'll need to set your sound up, as the only sound output will be from the laptop still.

I didn't realise Laptops had started shipping with HDMI outputs on them!

vaios do with the built in bluray drive

my mac looks s**t on the TV. Misses 10 pixels on the top and 10 on the bottom, quality of pic, in terms of colour and how its represented does not look good

weird, didn't think hdmi was on laptops yet, that laptop must have cost a bomb! prob still better off running it through vga anyway...

you may not get a 1-1 pixel match tho and you may get under/over scan too

 

[Rasclart]

Can you not install a program (Name Escapes me) to run custom Res, i.e the Weird ones some Plasmas and LCD's run and match it 1:1

or dont that work?

 

[KDF]

I dont see why it wouldnt.. a 1:1 match is always going to look best.


Edit: Powerstrip 3

most lcd's atleast wont pixel map especially 1366x768 res screens some do 1360x760 and weird stuff like that some wont even do anything above 1024x768 !

and this can all change depending on the input that is used best way is to see on avforum if someone else has had a 1-1 map on the input and screen you want to use

the one im sending back does 1-1 on dvi hdmi and vga but overscans about 5% on component

I recently hooked my laptop up to my 42" plasma using vga at 1024 x 768. I'm impressed by the results! There was minimal overscan and everything was readable. Far cry looked great!

 

[KDF]

^^ Same here.. I use the VGA port for both ma PC and ma 360.. looks so good !

 

[McBunny]

its only really a problem when half your start putton and your clock vanishes off the side of the screen with overscan
