So my parents finally upgraded from their old 32" crt.

Great I'll build you an htpc, I said.

 

Went to deliver it today and had a little trouble.

I could not feed it 1920x1080 60hz.

Video card is a 8400 512mb, Gigabyte GVNX84S512HP

Also tried the DG41's onboard x4500HD video.

XP and Win7, no joy.

 

Runs in 1280x1024 ok but obviously not pixel matched.

Maybe I should have suggested they get a HD Ready 1024x768 panel like mine :(

 

I'll keep searching but though to post here in case there is something simple I have missed.

 


Will try via HDMI when I get a suitable video card and cable.

 

They lost the manual and I can't seem to download one to confirm the max vga in resolution.


 

Note: Win7, Power DVD8 and x4500HD = no acceleration on freeview content.
