    Poor image quality with my HTPC - DVI to HDMI cable.

    Thanks for teh response sm8000 The tv is a 1080i and going through the menus on the tv I see no way to change resolution. Looks like I will have to RTFM on that. Clear type is enabled and it helps, but very little. When I have a day off I will drag my main PC with a 9800pro into the...

    Poor image quality with my HTPC - DVI to HDMI cable.

    specs: ti4200 to a hitachi 42" plasma using a dvi to HMDI cable. The best way to describe is all the text is rough. My eyes cry when I stare at text for too long. I have no idea what adjustment needs to be made to correct this. I have no idea where to start. I tried powerstrip but I...

    Free CarFax report!

    I agree 100% with what you said. I was actually disappointed that my car's history did not show up in a carfax report properly. I was lucky enough to have a fellow forum member at overclockers.com have a month of unlimited reports and he ran mine. The same result. So basically my worry that...

    YACT: Which car is consider to be the Quietest/smoothest Car? Lexus?

    seriously the ride was the same. Very thumpy over bumps. I do not expect that in a Lexus but it was there, my sisters car, Camries and other cars of that sort have the same thump. I like to call it the front wheel drive thump. I believe it has something to do with the strut suspension. That...
