9800 PRO [R360 Core] TV-OUT Issues

Hello all!
The card is performing great except for the Video-Out feature, somehow, the composite (as I dont have a S-Video able TV) exit, gives me a picture that is too dark and saturated in the tv.
I'm using the MSI S-Video-Composite conversor. I've tried adjusting the parameters via panel, but I can only tweak the contrast, as the brightness item appears "grayed". Modifying the "generic" windows controls, dont give me the effect I need (just washes up the image).
I've tried with different cables, to no avail. I'm downloading the latest drivers from msi now, the only thing I can think of is a regkey to force brightness controls...
Kinda sucks, because I've got SWOT, and I was looking forward to watch it on tv...
Any help, is appreciated.
Thanks, in advance!

hola cthulhu_arg
Yo soy de argentina tambien y me paso lo mismo.
Usa el atitool para hacer una copia del bios, baja el programa "rabit" y modifica el bios (tiene una opcion para habilitar todas las normas de video que estan ocultas por dafault) en argentina es pal-cn.
Despues desde DOS flashea el bios con el modificado y listo.
Yo hise eso y ahora en un TV pal puede ver en colores todo ok.
Saludos.

    Hi. i use MSI 9800 PRO R360. when i want to watch my desktop on both my MOnitör and Tv There is only seems my desktop scene. when i put the icons on right part on monitör with mouse , icons seems on Tv From left. and icons seems only on Tv now not on monitor... i hope you understood me.what is the problem?

    Check if you are "extending" or "cloning" your video, probably the first one (gives you extra deskto space, instead of a replica of your monitor on tv.)
    A question: My tv output sucks, it's too dark, and I have no brightness controls in my control panel (for the tv). ¿any workarounds?

  • HT4628 I did the security update on 4-2-13 and now my airport card will not turn on. OS 10.6.8 Intel imac 4,1 core duo. My macbook pro did not have this issue and wifi here is working on that. Is there a setting that was changed? Thank you!

    Airport card will not turn on after security update yesterday. worked normally (for the download of the update) until then. Wifi here works fine with my Macbook Pro right now so the issue is with the card / computer / software not the provider. Did the update change something?

  • After effects performance issues on mac pro 12-core

    Hello everyone,
    I feel as if i keep making similar posts to this, but for some reason i am still not satisfied with my machine. Im using a mac pro 12-core 2.4GHz with 40gigs of ram installed and a ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card.
    I finally got around to getting my SSD set up and i have all of my applications installed on it along with the OS. i also have all of my cache files set to my WD hard drive so I'm not clogging up my 120GB SSD. My SSD has 40gigs left so i figure i shouldn't go any lower than that to keep the performance of the drive at its fullest potential.
    I do a lot of work in after effects CS6 and i feel that the machine is still going slow.. I was working on a project last night and when i went to do a RAM preview i kept getting the beach ball and after effects would glitch up.. what would be the main cause of this? could it have been that the destination file i was working with was on my WD drive and not the SSD?
    I don't know what it is i need to keep adding to this machine to finally be satisfied with its performance.. My next investment would most likely be a GTX 570 to enable CUDA cores for open GL rendering, but i still feel that i should still be getting great performance now.
    Any suggestions? maybe I'm doing something wrong?
    Thanks in advance!

    Rick is talking about After Effects Multiprocessing.  You can turn it off and on here:
    Also, you've only reserved 3 GB out of 40 GB for other applications.  Other apps on your computer also need memory to work and setting this number so low could cause these apps to fight with After Effects over the available memory causing AE to slow down. I would suggest starting with that number a lot higher, possibly around 10 GB.  Then do a bunch of render tests to see what the best settings are for your machine. 
    I also highly recommend watching the "Using 'Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously' Multiprocessing" tutorial by Adobe employee Todd Kopriva on Video2Brain for more information.  If you really want to learn more about getting the best performance in AE, I would go through the rest of the After Effects & Premiere Pro Performance Workshop.  You'll learn a lot.

    Hey all...    I am trying to install a new Ati AIW 9800 pro in to my PC.  The Motherboard is a MSI 648 Max-L.......    Every time I install the old or new Driver set for the Ati card it kills my network connection I cannot connect to the internet or other PC in my network...  I cant even ping my router.   I have to restore my PC back to the time before the install and all is fine even with the card still in the PC with no drivers loaded.       Hers the kicker I can install just the ati display drivers an all is fine but as soon as I install the Multimedia drivers I lose all network connection and have to do a restore to get it back.  Even if I delete the drivers and reboot the PC my network connection is gone, have to do a restore to get it back.

  • ATI Radeon 9800 Pro screen issue Powermac G4 MDD?

    So I bought a new ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB and it seems to work fine, but when I restart I get this screen:
    http://s79.photobucket.com/albums/j149/ralphiedee/?action=view&current=monitor2. jpg
    But only when I restart it seems. Please any help would be appreciated.
    I have dual 1Ghz processors
    2 gigs of ram
    plenty of hard drive space.

    Hi Quarrypoint, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Hmmmm, doesn't look good, One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, does it do that in Safe Mode ever...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below.
    I'm not certain what temps are reported on your G4, but Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
    And/or iStat Pro...
    http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/
    If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.
    Does it do that if it's cooled off on restart?

  • Radeon 9800 Pro (128MB) on G4 with lots of artifacts

    Hi there,
    I recently bought a radeon 9800 pro (mac version) over ebay. I put it into a d1ghz (quicksilver with 1.5GB of Ram. Everything seems to work fine, however, the screen flickers ever so slightly after the ripple effect in the dashboard. Yet this is not really what bugs me: Any game (and probably other applications as well) which uses Core Image produces huge artifacts. There are just random screen-filling bits sticking out the ground...
    How do I get rid of this? I already checked all the connections, ran software update, downloaded the most recent drivers and tried downclocking the graphics card.... (I also think that I cleared NV- and PRAM, but I am not sure... )
    What am I forgetting?
    Thanks already, dl33

    Hi. I had the same problem, but it was a 500 mhz Sawtooth. I was told it was either a power issue or a heat issue. So I upgraded the power supply from 237 watts to 400 watts. It seemed to help, but it started doing the same thing. After wasting a lot of time and money with power supplies and soldering and adding fans, etc, I looked at the fan on the card. Like you, I bought mine used. The guy said it worked flawlessly. When I first got it and experienced the problems, I checked the fan. It wasn't the stock fan, was a unit from Arctic Cooling. The fan was spinning, but it said that air should be blown out the exhaust, and I felt none. Upon closer inspection it turned out that the fan was defective. It was constantly speeding up/slowing down, and it was supposed to be a single speed fan...not good. But by the time I figured that out, the card had been fried. I got a new unit from Arctic Cooling, but the card no longer works.
    Might want to check the fan and make sure it's spinning. Your power supply should be sufficient since I believe the QS's had 344 watt PSU's.
    One thing I forgot to mention was that underclocking it usually helped. I had to underclock it a good amount, though. I believe it was around 20%.
    Hope this helps.

  • ATI 9800 Pro Mac SE - Screen Artifacts and Anomalies

    Hello All,
    I was lucky enough to be given a new video card this Christmas (ATI 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition). Unfortunatly I am having some serious issues.
    When I frst installed the card in my G5 all seemed well, both my displays appeared to be working properly and I did not notice any problems. The next day I decided to update the ROM on the card to the latest offered by ATI; after doing this I began to notice some horrible screen artifacts and tearing.
    Examples:

    http://static.flickr.com/42/7761277964b07c6811o.jpg
    As you can tell from the screenshots above this is not normal.
    Here are some details of my Powermac:
    Dual 2.0G5 w/ 3.5 GB of RAM
    Running 10.4.3
    Displays:
    23" Apple (plastic) Cinema Display connected via ADC
    17" Sony connected via DVI
    And the ATI card:
    Chipset Model: ATY,R350
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 256 MB
    Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
    Device ID: 0x4e48
    Revision ID: 0x0000
    ROM Revision: 113-A14402-126
    I have attempted to downgrade the firmware on the card to the previous ROM offered by ATI; no luck.
    I have taken the normal troubleshooting procedures:
    - Repair permissions
    - Clean caches
    - Repair Disk
    - Reseat video card
    - Install a fresh copy of Tiger on a seperate drive
    - Install different versions of ATI's software (currently using the most up to date)
    - Remove ATI's software
    - Boot into safemode
    - Run one display at a time (first ADC then DVI)
    It seems ATI support is out till 12/30; does anyone have any advice?
    Thanks for all your help....

    I purchased this card on ebay as a new, unused Apple factory unit, which doesn't require the molex power drop from the superdrive. I've got a 20" aluminum cinema display and a 17" clear CRT studio display connected. My main problem is that I get random app freezing (mostly Safari, sometimes Preview, and occasionally Mail). I can browse with Firefox all day and not have a problem. Console shows nothing unusual, either.
    Symptoms: cursor present and movable, but unable to click on anything, Dock icons don't display their names upon rollover, perpetual beachball in frontmost app, high-pitched screech coming from machine somewhere (unless 'Napping' is turned off in CHUD processor pref pane, then normal).
    Until this evening, I was under the impression that these were freezes that required a hard restart - I had waited several hours for the symptoms to clear to no avail. Tonight I decided to try something: I pressed the power button on the 20" display, and then pressed the 'S' key to sleep the system (even though I got no feedback on screen). I waited a few seconds and then left the room for a minute or two, and when I came back, the machine was sleeping. I woke it up and found horrible corruption, which corrected itself after another sleep cycle.
    I was actually preparing for an archive & install to see if maybe different drivers would be installed that alleviate the issue, but wasn't too hopeful.
    Bizarre...
    Now I'm not sure what to do. I haven't been able to use Safari for several weeks due to this. I had thought that since it only seems to happen with Apple apps, that maybe it was a core OS thing that 3rd party apps weren't affected by.

  • MEGA 180 and Radeon 9800 Pro/XT

    Haven't posted in a while, just wanted to spread a little good. Having a MEGA 180 is a little limiting with power supply and space issues etc but i've got a cracking setup working here :-)
    I bought the MSI RX9800PRO TD128, despite a 300watt power supply warning for the card it works perfectly in the MEGA, but the good news doesn't stop there, the graphics chip is not a standard 9800PRO R350 core, for some reason it has the R360 core from the 9800XT, overclocking is a breeze with the ATI Tool. It comes default with a 378 core - 338 mem setting, I have saved a profile in ATI Tool with the XT settings of 412 core - 365 mem and they work a treat in UT, Q3, Tomb AOD and i've even stressed the card in 3DMark05 for quite some time and it just works, I dare say I could push it even higher but I'm happy getting XT performance for PRO money :-)
    Overclocker New Zealand have even managed to get it up to an insane 479 core - 391.5 mem see http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review.php?id=04vga00r9800promsi00000r9800pro0105
    There is also another great thread all about this card at http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showindex.php?t=118366&highlight=rx9800
    The ATI Tool is quite good, i've even created a profile for 2D that is underclocked for when I'm in windows so it keeps my system a little cooler with the XT settings set to kick in when I start up 3D, coupled with a Barton 2800+, 1Gb of PC2700 and the 120Gb Maxtor with 8Mb of cache and it is all just working well together, Win XP Pro with SP2 is rock solid, well it is for me anyway, :-)
    Couple of things to know.
    Win XP finds the RX as an XT, so no need to try and flash the bios, it isn't an XT PCB anyway, just an XT core.
    As there is no heat sensor for the core ATIs Overdrive isn't available but you can get the ATI Tool from loads of places on the net, here is a link anyway http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/
    happy at last :-)

    Dont know if this will help but I had the same problem awhile back with an Asus A7N8X deluxe that I built for a friend.   Sometimes it would initiate the monitor and others it would not.   This drove me nuts for about a week, I tried everything that I could think of.   This is what I did to remedy the situation somewhat.  
    Go to the ATI website and download the catalyst removal software and also download the Catalyst 3.7 driver from there "older" drivers page.
    Now boot into windows and remove the ATI drivers and control panel from add remove programs, DO NOT REBOOT!  
    Run the ATI driver removal tool.
    Shut down the machine, REMOVE THE POWER CORD,clear cmos, set the jumper for CPU fsb to 100mhz (safemode)  and REMOVE your ram.   Boot the machine, you will get a series of beeps indicating that the memory is not installed. Shut the machine down, REMOVE THE POWER CORD, Put the memory back in, reset the CPU fsb jumper to its normal position,  and clear Cmos again.  (this series of actions  also solved my no display issue on my Mega 180 using the onboard graphics).
    Now boot into bios and set it up the way you want then boot into windows and when windows tells you that it has found new hardware do not let it automatically install anything (cancel it).  Now run the 3.7 catalyst setup and follow the instructions.
    I am not sure why this worked to solve the issue but it did for me on both my Mega and the above mentioned system.   I think there may be some odd conflict with the Nforce chipset and the ATI drivers and or Card bios.
    Why it worked on my Mega is a mystery, I am using the onboard graphics and would have the system turn on with fans working and all but would have no display out.

  • How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core 2010 model?

    How can I hook up 3 screens to a Mac Pro 8 core. One is a 23' Apple Cinema Display, the second is a 20" Apple cinema display and the 3rd is a 32' Sony Bravia HDTV (connected to mini port with mini/HDMI connector) Do I need to buy another video card? I have heard  about 4 different scenarios about this, and they all sound a bit complicated. I thought that you could automatically connect 3 displays with the card that comes with the MacPro. It has a DVI port and 2 mini ports, so it appears that would be for 3 displays. But this is where it gets strange. Any thoughts?

    Which video card?  5x70?  If you read about the various scenarios thern for 5x70's you need two active adapters for thee monitors (TV considered a monitor).  And you should have seen references to these apple docs:
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010), Mac Pro (Early 2009): Issues with three displays and multiple DVI, HDMI connections
    Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
    It's not really complicated.  Search out the appropriate adapters and hook 'em up.   For the 23" and 20", if they are DVI, you need single link adapters.  For the TV, if you end up using the DVI port for it (because possibly you can't find the appropate adapter cmbination) then you need to handle the audio separately since DVI doesn't carry audio.

  • Windows – but Which? (What to install on Mac Pro Quad Core?)

    First, apologies in advance if this seems like repetition of a recent topic, but I read through the recent "Vista vs XP" thread and it didn't quite answer my questions.
    Basically, I'm planning on buying a Mac Pro "Quad Core" 2.8 and installing Boot Camp and a Windows OS startup. This puts me into the notoriously tricky area of picking the right version of Windows for my needs, something I haven't really had to deal with in regards to OS X.
    Basically, I'm not looking for something with too many bells and whistles or to much bloatware built into the OS. Also, I'll probably be using some older software/shareware, so backwards compatibility is an issue. On the other hand, I'd like something that works with the Quad Core architecture at its greatest efficiency.
    This means I'm wondering about a couple of features that I may or may not need, and it would be of great help if you folks could point me in the right direction regarding these:
    x64 – Since the Xeon processors in the Mac Pro are 64-bit processors, am I better off with "x64"-compatible versions of Windows (either Windows Vista or x64 versions of XP)? Will this cause problems starting up older programs that may not have been written for x64?
    *Dual Processor Support* – the Quad Core, of course, is a dual processor – will I get better performance from a version of Windows that list "Dual Processor Support" among its features (basically, the "pro", "business", or "ultimate" versions of XP and Vista)?
    If I need those features, I'm probably looking at getting either the x64 version of Windows XP Pro or the Business or Ultimate versions of Vista. However, I'm leaning against Vista based on backwards-compatibility and bloatware issues. That leaves XP Pro x64, but I might go for a more basic version of XP if I find out the x64 or DPS features aren't actually something I need. (The other "extras" in XP Pro don't sound like anything I need.)
    Also, I'm likely to install Parallel Desktop at some point and don't want a version of Windows that would have compatibility problems there, either.
    Anyway, any answers you folks can provide for me in this regard would be very helpful.
    Thanks in advance,
    Peter

    Truth is, I am disappointed in VMware Fusions slow walk toward full support for 64-bit and SP1 but 2.0 beta is getting there. Never used Parallels but best to check their own support forums. They also updated the 1.x version recently.

    You don't need anything first, except I would start with a new hard drive for Vista, don't even do anything with it and pull OS X drive, boot Vista DVD and go from there, just as you would normally. Much easier. After it is installed is when you need Apple BootCamp from your Leopard OEM DVD, install, and then Apple Software Update will take care of 2.1. And install your graphic drivers yourself.
    The problem(s) come with trying to use BootCamp Assist and setting up partitioning, and it only makes it harder - not easier - on Mac Pro (you aren't and don't want to use your OS X boot drive).

    The only real issues are which graphics card to get today or in next weeks, what drives you are going with and other upgrades like memory (8 x 1GB is actually a good base ideal figure so all DIMM slots are taken up).
    Barefeats has a number of benchmark articles:

    - until the WD "Black" series (I guess Blackbird name or SR71 are already taken) along with 3rd generation of their RE series drives. WD has been popular, reliable, with Mac Pro for last two years. Can't say the same of every vendor. Samsung F1 is also a real winner.
    If you buy only one book to understand and get the most out of OS X: "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual" (Pogue has a Missing Manual Series on most everything, and this is the most popular recommended for Mac OS).

  • ATI/Radeon 9800 Pro 128 AGP 4x/2x in Gigabit Ethernet dual 450 PMac G4

    Hi,
    This is my first time posting to these discussion group... I've been going through related threads and have not found an answer to my problem...
    I have a Gigabit Ethernet dual 450 G4. Awhile ago I upgraded the processor to a Sonnet 1.8ghz so I could run Leopard.
    I just bough the ATI/Radeon 9800 Pro 128 AGP 4x/2x video card. I researched around and that seemed to be a card that would work in my machine. I even read a review on Amazon where someone had also upgraded to the 1.8 processor used this card with no issues.
    I do have an older monitor - Apple Studio Display CRT with the ADC connector. So I also bought the Apple DVI to ADC adapter kit.
    I installed the card and do not get any picture at all - I believe I have installed everything correctly. I'm pretty sure I can hear the fan on the video card in the machine. The monitor is getting power from the adapter since the button lights up when I press it - but it does not stay lit -- the monitor never turns on. Using my old graphics card the monitor makes a little "beep" when it turns on.
    In reading the other topics I am wondering if it might be a power issue? According to Other World Computing's profile my machine has a max of 220 watts. Although they suggest this video card as one the will work in my machine.
    I have disabled the hard drive that came with the machine (too small) and am using two Maxtor hard drives that I added - one ATA (120gb) and one SATA (500gb) that is connected to an SATA pci card. I also have two additional pci cards with usb 2.0/firewire ports.
    In looking at the topics here I came across the link about taping the 3 and 11 pins on the video card. Even though the card I have is 4x/2x not 8x I thought I'd give it a shot. That did not work either.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't wish to sound redundant here, but I've been reviewing the vendor's page:
    It's OK- I don't mind beating this dead horse....
    The maker says such to protect themselves from possible claims that may arise due to over loaded systems and power problems when their card is installed in said system.
    Of course, 300w would be nice, but they didn't even specify the PSU rating a couple years ago. The Sawtooth, with it's 237w PSU, used to be listed as a compatible machine for the 9800...... They just didn't consider how far a Sawtooth might be modded.
    Within reason, the early G4's (Sawtooths) are capable of using the Radeon 9800 Pro. The GE has the same 338w PSU as the DA (they are interchangeable), so there is plenty of power for the 9800.
    One thing to remember, the requirements of the ADC port of the AGP slot are removed by using a non ADC card. This really changes the calculations of the power available.
    It's kinda' a long post, but, if you care to get ALL the details, check the following:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7065653&#7065653
    I think you'll be satisfied with the explanation.......
    Which leaves your second, and very appropriate, point.
    The main enemy of all, though, isn't power. Heat is the biggest concern.
    Reducing heat/increasing cooling by using a third party fan on the 9800 is highly recommended. The 9800 is a hot card, and the stock fan is prone to early failure.
    Adding additional cooling to remove the extra heat produced by the 9800, by using an exausting PCI fan, will also help the PSU provide adequate voltage to the system, by reducing the amount of hot air moving out of the PSU.
    Super heated air moving through the PSU reduces the cooling ability of the PSU. A hot PSU doesn't produce reliable power.
    So, add the 9800, add some cooling, and enjoy!

  • Video Artifacts: Radeon 9800 Pro + ACD 23 (Clear) + G5

    Hi guys.
    I've been experiencing some video artifacts with my retail version Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB (not the OEM "XT" version from Apple) which is driving my ACD 23" (Clear Enclosure), which is connected to a Dualie 2.5GHz G5 running Tiger 10.4.2.
    Prior to installing the upgraded video card, I never had this problem, so I am pretty sure it's the card.
    It has only happened to me when the G5 wakes from sleep. And it doesn't happen very often, either. Maybe 1 out of 20 wakes from sleep. The only way to get it back to normal is to turn off the G5 completely, disconnect the ADC connector cable from the back of the video card, and then reconnect it and reboot.
    I also have a second display connected to a Radeon 7000 via VGA and when the artificats appear, the other display is just fine. The weird thing is that I can actually take a screen shot of the artifacts, which I thought wouldn't show up. I am not sure what that means, but I think the fact that I can take a screenshot of it tells me the display is being corrupted at the system level. Right?
    Any help would be appreciated. TIA.

    Hi Bryanus,
    Did you have an ADC port on your old card? Do you still have your old card? If this is the case, you can verify that the new card is implicated by re-installing your old card and seeing whether the problem repeats itself.
    If you only have DVI on your old card, you would have to borrow an adaptor, but then you are relying on the adaptor to function properly.
    If the problem doesn't repeat itself with your old card being used, then the new card is the culprit, in which case I'd ask to have it replaced, or get a refund.
    If the problem does repeat itself with the old card, then you might want to consider other possible contributing factors such as the physical state of the monitor connection (dirty or tarnished contacts, bent pins etc.).
    If the problem repeats itself with a new (replacement) card, you could add AGP slot issues to the above paragraph.
    "Sleep" in an Apple Mac often generates issues with third party hardware, so your primary consideration that it is probably the card is (to me anyway) still the most likely.
    All the best with the diagnosis!
    Cheers!

  • MDD / ATI 9800 Pro - LCD TV connection

    I'm thinking. I would like to connect the MDD (with 9800 Pro) to a LCD TV. The 9800 has an available 15Pin out (VGA?) and the TV has a VGA in.
    Looking for thoughts on this. Thinking the MDD would be my video library and serve up our collection. Beyond a couple cables VGA to VGA and audio to audio are there any other things I should be considering.
    Is there software that enhances this sort of 'Home Theater' type of idea?
    Special cables?
    Other things I should be aware of? (Picture quality issues, sound issues, .....)
    Any thoughts on the concept appreciated.
    Edit; Might add the TV also has HDMI and Component connection ports.

    Hi-
    Any suggestions for where to get the cabling - Radio Shack? eBay? other online source?
    I bought both online, and at a Japanese equivalent of a Radio Shack. Whatever is easier for you, and most economical. I do, however, suggest high quality cabling.
    Should the 9800 Pro give me decent resolution?
    Yes. The 9800 will support many resolutions. You will want to use the ATI Displays Control panel, so that you can de-interlace the picture for full use of the screen. Play with the settings, and you will understand.
    How do you come up with the '1080p'?
    That's based on what the TV (and the graphics card) supports.
    The display and TV both list in 1024x768 type figures? The TV literature suggests a resolution setting of 1366x768 at 60 Hz
    Sounds like the TV is a 720p. Check the chart half way down this page for better explanations of what the resolutions, and the abbreviated "720p", "1080p" etc. refer to.
    It is best to go with what the manufacturer suggests, though other resolutions are possible.
    I don't think there will be any problems with the 9800 providing the needed resolutions.
    The TV literature suggests a resolution setting of 1366x768 at 60 Hz.
    This would most likely be the optimal digital resolution for full 720p HD TV.
    Thanks again Japamac and Happy New Year!
    You're very welcome, and Happy New Year to you!
