Hi friends,
Now its time to enjoy HD movies on CRT with simple trick.Don't get wowed.Its kind of compramising with scale,but still useful.
It is for those who still dont have HDTV(like me).Those who have may ignore.Many member must be knowing this.Those who don't ,read carefully.
Requirement=
PC/LAPTOP with video out & 5.1ana out SC(even HDMI),
VLC(9.9 or higher) or similar mediaplayer,
AVR with 5.1ana input (or HDMI processing AVR),
HD movies(mkv) & CRT
my setup=
Intel E4500 CPU,945 MB,onbrd SC(realtek),GC nvidia7300,
1GB ram, WD500gb HDD, 21CRT(new replaced local circuit)
If you try to play HD clips directly on CRT from PC,you cant see any thing except hear audio.So follow the 5steps & enjoy....
Step1= Configed nvidia Driver with Dualview,so that I can view mkv on CRT.
(I am using 'S'video to video cable)
Step2= now config CRT resolution carefully.
(My CRT supports upto 1024X768 input)
Caution:You need to check resolution from lower(320X200) & increase gradually.If some thing goes wrong,immediately turn-off TV
(keep remote in hand)to avoid damage or read manual before do. Ideally resolution upto 640X480 shld be supported by CRT.
Reason to keep high CRT resolution is to get good downscaled PQ.
Step3= Now lower your PC monitor's resolution & keep it same as CRT
(say 640X480)
Step4= Set aud.driver speaker option to 5.1 (7.1) sothat to get surr out.
Step5= Now play mkv in VLC,move the player to extreme Rt of PC monitor
sothat you can view it on CRT.
In this way,you can enjoy HD movies on CRT with HT setup.I played Wall-E 1080p,WMV 1080p clips & playing perfect.:yahoo:
Thanks: Special thanks to Vinay,HemantWaghe who shared HD movies so that I can try on my setup.
Final thoughts: So in this way who dont have HD display,can evjoy HD(1080p) movies on CRT.
You may say that vlc show downscled picture ,but atleast one can enjoy until HDTV comes.Even HD-ready tvs do the same,downscaling 1080p to 720p,I m doing it further.
I am happy though.Now its you turn.If you have similar setup,try this carefully.I dont know if ATI supports in this way.So try & pls.report.
Finally if you really like the post,then what are you waiting for ,just click on "THANKS" below.
Cheers...
