Summary:
1. Can one successfully hook up an svga computer monitor to the vga jack on a dtc100?
2. can one successfully hook up a dtc100 via video out and audio to a video card eg an ati radian 'hdtv ready' card?
Several years ago i vowed not to buy a new tv until i could use my computer monitor for it. A 19" .22 dot pitch monitor is now $350US. I can play really nice looking DVD disks on it at 16/9 aspect ratio. I am too cheap to buy a big hdtv with .82 dot pitch for 8 to 10 times as much when i am on my computer more than the tv anyway.
Has anyone just directly hooked up an svga monitor to the DTC100? I downloaded the owners manual, and was not enlightened, other than there seem to be some options (eg 4/3 vrs 16/9).
More for the future, can I use an ati radion or other
card to display this.? I have seen some hauppange stuff re capture on some unreleased card capture is 8 gigs / hour, but can you also just watch it? Can you use a 'retail card' like the ati radion (which also does everything else i want). Does the dtc100 just hook up via the rca jacks? I assume the other outputs would not be supported by most video cards (eg rgb),
anyway, meanwhile i am watching tv on my old 19 inch tv with 13 channel vhf dial..ie if hdtv becomes as cheap as it, i guess i'd rather watch it there rather than on my computer monitor, but dvd's i watch on my monitor.
Besides, we are testing here anyway so i guess psychological testing is also ok eh?
(ps does anyone have a 752ed dct100 unit for cheap in canada?)
