Re: Digital TV

Hi!

( your return email, if sent, never arrived. Sigh....... )

Got it back, haven't tried re-sending it from Yahoo yet.

I have a couple of dig TV - PC monitor combo thingys. ( I personally use
neither. )
19" and 26" widescreen. Gazzilion inputs, etc, blah blah.
I_could_ not_ watch_ them. Cable picture is horrible, unless you are on a
dig HD channel.

Are they LCD panel based? If so, that's probably a lot of the problem.
Anything that doesn't match the panel's native resolution will be scaled.
And depending upon how good the scaling is, the programming may look very
bad.

Of course, any display device that handles both computer and TV signals must
(or should) use a higher quality display element (picture tube or panel)
than a dedicated purpose TV. This can also make errors, low quality signals
or compression artifacts really stand out when the soft focus and wide dot
pitch of a standard TV picture tube can make them "go away".
