It also has a VGA port and a DTV (not sure what this is >.>) but those are all in the same area so I think they're three types of connectors I could use depending on what card I get. I guess this means it doesn't have the DVI input. ^_^;;

Refers to a group of 18 U.S. digital broadcast formats set by the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) to replace NTSC, the current but aging television system. Each of the formats uses a different combination of standards for resolution, aspect ratio, frame rates, and progressive/interlaced scanning methods.
Are there video cards that have component outputs? Or would getting something to convert from VGA out (on the video card) to component in (connecting to the TV) settle the resolution problem? I've seen converters like this for sale when I was searching the internet. I definitely don't want to hurt my television if using the VGA causes problems.
One thing, the television also has 4 S video input slots (and one output) - would the resolution be less of a problem if I got a card with S video out and connected it to one of the S video inputs on the television?
And I think I'll let RadioShack install the card I get - I'm not competent to open up my computer and start messing with the inside. o.o ]

Hard to tell for sure, but if you can get the manual from the Web site, you'll know more about it.
Arigatomyna wrote:The normal composite section did have that, but the DTV composite ones have 480i/480p/1080i - but if they limit the resolution, it still sucks. o.o I had no idea. The composite and svideo hookups in the front of the television (there are like 6 input areas) don't have any designation above them. Would that mean they aren't limited like the ones on the back, or did they just leave out the text?
Thank you *very* much. ^__^ I'm downloading the manual now - the version number was on the back of the tv. I didn't realize they offered that on the official website...
