Now if I take a video out from my PC and connect it to
TV, will the display be same as PC or better(coz TVs have low resolution....somthing of the order of 480x400). I am asking this bcoz I am comtemplating of buying a graphics card with TV out capability for the same reason. I hope I have been able to make my query clear enough.[/b]
I do this, but i have to reduce the
laptop screen rez to 800x600, otherwise TV won't display the whole picture. DVD is 750(?)x480 so i'd say DVD rez is the max your tv can handle, ie more than 400x400.
Now its a question of which is the better playback device, the standalone DVD player or the laptop...hmm
Looks better with the DVD player because it might be applying some filters to make the pic look better. What if you tried to replicate this with VLC player etc. In theory you would have more flexibility selecting filters from VLC player on the PC than what's provided by the standalone DVD player. Of course you better have a powerful PC to do this, since the dvd player does it all in hardware.
I'd think you would be better off with a graphics card, only if you can find the right filters and actually see a difference.
