Dell :: Monitor Or HDTV For My SXPS 13 And PS3

Jun 27, 2009

I have an old cathodic dinosaure on witch I play PS3 games and watch movies...
Not that I got my new SXPS 13, I am thinking about getting a screen for both devices.

They both have HDMI output... should I go with an HD tv or a Large LCD monitor 6

I don't want to pay more then 600$ and I would love to see my blu-ray in 1080p

For the Monitor I am thinking of something like this :

LG 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor 370$
W2453V-PF
HDMI, DVI-D (HDCP), VGA
300cd/m2
Contrast 50000:1 (DFC)
Resolution 1920 x 1080
Response Time 2m .....

Dell :: HDTV To Use As A TV And A Monitor

Dec 9, 2007

a couple of months ago my brother bought a big HDTV to use as a TV and a monitor. To me it didn't look good at all, it's hard to describe but it just didn't look proper. Since then we recently got one for the living room too, and I have to say I'm very disappointed. It looks the same as my brothers, kind of fuzzy, like the FPS isn't as good, and rather pixelly :S and this is when watching TV. Our old school TV looked 10 times better. Also, when hooked up to my M1710 it looks absolutely horrible, even at 1900 res.

Dell :: SXPS 16, Anyone Not Using Generic PnP Monitor?

Nov 30, 2009

Just installed Windows 7 and noticed that under Win7 there are even fewer resolutions available than under Vista.

I assume it is because of the reliance on Generic PnP Monitor driver.

Anyone try another monitor driver for the RGB LED 1920x1080 SXPS 16?.

Dell :: I Hate How The SXPS 13's Monitor...

Aug 26, 2009

What I mean is that the plastic covering that makes the monitor look edge-to-edge is not aligned right. The side of the glass sticks out to a point where you can push it in.

I mean, it doesn't even seemed like the plastic covering fits at all with the lid! Too bad pushing it in does nothing..the plastic cover just pops back out.

Dell replaced my monitor for this reason alone..except...the new monitor has the SAME EXACT problem. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, how do you fix it? I thought about trimming the side out to make it fit inside the lid, tho it does sound a little dangerous to do

Dell :: SXPS 1645 Discontinuedi7-820QM No Longer Supported On SXPS

Dec 30, 2009

This is interesting... a friend of mine just tried to order the SXPS with the i7-820 processor and got denied by Dell. Apparently, the 1645 has been fully discontinued, and Dell will no longer be placing the i7-820 processor in any SXPS form factor. They quoted that due to hardware and power issues as the reason behind discontinuing the 1645 (and replacing it with the 1647) and killing i7-820 support. The sales rep said the only offering will be the Studio series for the i7-820.

As a 1645 owner with the i7-820, this is kinda scary that this laptop has been discontinued this quickly as well as the offering of the 820 series chip. We ended up calling a second time, and another sales rep confirmed the same story.

Anyone get similar information from Dell on this? I'm also wondering if this is a "Dell Canada" thing...

Dell :: XPS 1530 HDMI With HDTV

Nov 29, 2008

I had some movies on my XPS 1530, so I decided to connect it up to my parents Samsung 37 inch HDTV while I was home for Thanksgiving. This would be the first time I have every used the HDMI output jack on my 1530 and I have noticed some strange things. First, when I connected the HDMI cable my computer it detected the HDTV but every time I try to switch to it, either by FN+F8 or in the nvidia control panel, it reverted back to the notebook screen. The only way I could get it to work was by rebooting the machine with the HDMI cable plugged in. After it reboots, I can then change to the HDTV no problem.

So why would I need a reboot to get it to work?

Second, after I finally get connected the only resolution that seems to work is 1280x720(720P). If I try to go any higher the picture on the HDTV will flicker terribly. I have connected my 1530 to other displays using the VGA connector and have gotten higher resolutions before, so what's the deal with the HDMI connector?

Background info:
XPS 1530 (Bios A12)
Fresh installing of VISTA Business
Video Driver - (laptop2go modified) 177.98

Dell :: Connecting Studio Xps 16 To 37 Inch HDTV Via HDMI

Oct 4, 2009

I have a studio xps 16 with the Radeon 4670. When I connect my laptop to my 37 inch HDTV via HDMI, the image does not fill up the TV screen. Is there any way I can adjust the resolution?

Also I have downloaded a couple of 1080p movies, but again they do not fill up the TV's screen, and don't look as stunning.

I don't understand why it wouldn't fill up the TV since if you burn the movie onto a blu-ray disk or dvd, it would look stunning on the HDTV.

Sony :: Vaio FW To HDTV

Jan 2, 2010

I have a FW490 laptop with a BluRay player. I would really like to watch blurays on my HDTV, however, there are two problems. I connect via HDMI cable, and the screen is does not go full screen. The laptop recognizes that the TV is 720p and it changes the resolution automatically, but there are black bars on the side as well as above and below what is displayed on the TV. The second problem is that the audio sounds awful. I turn on the 5.1 surround I have attached to the TV, but it still sounds horrible ie. the sound effects and music are much louder than the dialogue of any show I am watching.

I have this TV:[url]

Here's a rough sketch as to what it looks like.

I think it is a problem with the Computer, but I'm not sure.

HP/Compaq :: Connecting To My HDTV

Apr 29, 2009

I've been watching some HD movies that I downloaded on my laptop, and I've been watching them on my HDTV that is connected to my laptop via a VGA cable. Everything is fine with connecting it, settings are all right, but when I watch HD movies, about every 10 minutes it freezes up (the movie, that is) and I have ti close my VLC player and restart it.

I do not have this problem when I watch regular format (not HD movies) on my TV when connected to my laptop, but only when watching HD movies. Does this have to do with the type of connection? Will if work if I buy an HDMI wire and connect that to my laptop instead of using VGA?

Apple :: Early 08 MBP To HDTV - How Do I Get Sound

Jul 14, 2009

I have an early 08 MBP (non unibody) and I want to hook it up to my samsung HDTV to play movies. I have a DVI to HDMI cable that covers video and it works fine but so far that makes it work like a really REALLY big monitor. Since DVI doesn't output sound what do I use to get the sound to output to the tv as well?

Does this work?

I notice in one of the reviews one person states they used this to connect their MBP to their HDTV, I was just wondering if it would work for my model as well?

HP Pavilion Dv6 OS/Software :: Connect To HDTV Using HDMI Cable?

Nov 19, 2009

I'm trying to connect my Pavilion dv6 to my HDTV using an HDMI cable. I'm getting video, but not audio from the TV speakers. The problem started after I upgraded from Vista to Windows 7. I had no problems with HDMI with windows Vista.
 
I've tried updating/reinstalling the audio drivers from HP's website, but it doesn't work. I've also tried going to the control panel and changing the playback device, but the HDMI audio device icon no longer appears in the playback devices dialogue box. The only playback devices are Speakers and Dual Headphones, Independent Dual Headphones, and SPDIF (Digital Out Via HP Dock.)
 
Why is the HDMI device not shown in the playback dialogue box?

Dell :: HDMI + HDTV Issues. Studio XPS 13. No Picture, Flicking Colors. Timing Issues?

Jul 13, 2009

My new Studio XPS 13 with integrated NVIDIA 9400M graphics came in. I tried to hook up the HDMI port to my HDTV, a Sony KDF-E50A10:

http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/ser...ductId=1001599

On my screen, all that displays is some random flickering colors. Ive tried changing the resolutions and various settings in the NVIDIA control panel, but still no luck.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to try? I figure HDMI should be pretty much plug and play. The TV is 720p and Ive tried resolutions from 1280x720 to 800x600. I dont really have any experience with HDMI to be honest.

There are some custom settings in the NVIDIA control panel, but I am not too familiar with these settings:

Dell :: SXPS 13

Mar 15, 2009

here are my questions:
1. What's the best way to clean the polished black plastic? I know they're prone to finger prints. I also have compressed air...is that ok for cleaning the keys and stuff?

2. Does the blue LED on the power cord annoy the out of anyone else? Anyone got any ideas on removing it? Just wondering...

3. I have 4GB DDR3 RAM. There were were options to upgrade to six and eight GB, but Dell always charges too much for RAM and I decided I could do it myself with premium RAM rather than the junk they use. My question is, I hear there's only two dim slots, so what are my upgrade options? Would 2 x 4GB DDR3 sticks work?

4. I plug my HDMI cord from my TV to my computer and it displays the picture just fine. Vista recognizes the new monitor and works well. Problem is, I can't get it to play sound through the cord. I've tried going into the sound settings and saw that there is a grayed out option for NVIDIA HDMI OUTPUT under the playback tab (screenshot below). How could the computer be recognizing the cord but the sound options say it isn't? Its frustrating because it means the HDMI port is almost useless for me.
