HDMI poor quality with HDTV?




keep c


Hi,
I'm using a Asus EAH 4870 graphic card connected to LG 32" Full HD TV with a DVI to HDMI connector.
The problem is my HDMI display is horrible. The display is blurry and even analog output is clearer then HDMI. I'd tried installing the latest driver for VGA but no avail. My current resolution is 1920 x 1080. Please advice what should i do.
My TV native resolution is 1920 x 1080p. I'd tried to switch to that resolution but still no go.

I've also noticed poor HDMI video quality with Asus cards.

I bought an Asus EAH3450 video card for use in my HTPC, and when i hooked it up to my big-screen 1080p LCD HDTV (1920x1080 native) using a DVI-to-HDMI cable, it causes my TV to underscan the image (shrink the image down so there is a black border all the way around the edge of the screen). Underscan squishes the pixels and it looks blurry. No matter what I do, I can't get it to do 1:1 pixel mapping with my HDTV over the digital connection. When I connect the EAH3450 via analog VGA, it can do 1:1 pixel mapping but the HDTV sometimes syncs the signal wrong and it's off-center.

I have since swapped that Asus EAH3450 for a Sapphire HD4650 and I was able to get 1:1 pixel-mapping right out of the box using DVI-to-HDMI. I'm never buying Asus video cards ever again.

What's the best quality HDTV under $1000?

Although I'm fairly tech-friendly when it comes to computers, my head is spinning from all the HDTV advice out there. I'm simply looking for an HDTV with the best picture and most reliability for the lowest price. Could someone please break it down into the simplest terms for me?
The size question was raised. We're replacing a 32" TV with something bigger, but we haven't determined how much bigger. We have a large area to work, so size is pretty flexible.



Answer
Plasma has the best picture qualities!

They have the highest native contrast ratios(40,000:1), giving them the blackest blacks and most vivid and rich looking colors! They also have the fastest response times(.001ms) and fastest refresh rates(600hz), making them the best at fast motion content like sports, movies and gaming!

Plasma's are also the most affordable HDTV per screen size and no longer have problems with burn-in or energy consumption. For more info and facts, see this website: http://www.plasma-lcd-facts.co.uk/

However, you didn't specify what size range you are looking for. This is an important factor when searching for TV's. Plasma TV's don't come in sizes smaller then 42", so if you're looking for something 40" or less...LCD is your only option! Go with these brands of LCD; Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Sony, Sharp or Toshiba.

However, if you are looking for something 42" or larger, i highly recommend going with a Panasonic Plasma TV. Panasonic is the best performing and most reliable brand of HDTV i've ever seen!
