@210482fmj Which make/model is this? I'd like to download the manual and take a look.As long as the resolution and refresh rate are HDTV standard, there should be any difference in the signal between a PC or cablebox/blu-ray/roku/etc.

@realhtinfo Does that mean that I have to buy a new windows cd? I already have a laptop with windows 7 on it, but it never came with a cd.

@realhtinfo it says in the manual not to connect a pc via hdmi on some tvs. THe new sony tvs have standard hdmi ports and a special pc hdmi port which is specially made for pc input. Most lcd tvs only support lower resolution via rgb i have heard.

@eallion Yep, and today I'd probably get a Fusion-based barebones for HTPC use. If you're saying I should make an updated build video, you're right. Send me some $ for parts or put me int ouch with a manufacturer willing to donate hardware, and I'll be happy to do an updated vid.

@eallion That's funny; there's plenty of comments to the contrary from a while back (people saying I needed more power, space, etc). I guess it all depends on what you're trying to do with it.

@GRGO0152 Step 1: insert Windows install CD. Step 2, follow on screen instructions. You'll need to have drivers ready for you hardware (motherboard, vid card, etc.). These drivers should be available from your manufacturers website.

@210482fmj Unless your TV is incompatible, there's no reason why you can feed a 1080i signal via HDMI or VGA. I don't know of any TV that would that is incompatible, but if you know of one, post the model and I'll take a look at it.

can you run a pc through an lcd tv at a constant 1920x1080 resolution. I have heard some lcd tvs only support pc playback at lower resolutions. IF so this is not good as movies from the pc will be in low resolution. SOMe lcd tvs say not to connect a pc to teh tv's hdmi port and only use the rgb pc input port. IS this correct. Can you run a pc through a lcd tv at 1920x1080 desktop resolution via hdmi.
