Best resolution for mini connect to my home theater TV

Good afternoon.
I have a 47" Panasonic HDTV (Widescreen). I would like to integrate my Intel Mini into my home theater.
What would be the best resolution to set the mini at to display on this TV?
Thanks.

I figured as much. I ran into this problem with my Sony 40" connecting via HDMI. Always ended up with borders, etc. and tried all the things so many on these boards have suggested--all to no avail. The TV mfg suggested connecting via VGA and I admit I was frustrated wanting to connect digitally. I went ahead and tried it and am amazed it looks so good--no fuzz that I would expect.
Of course, with an AV reciever, this may not be a very good option. My TV has lots of inputs so I was able to bypass the need for an AV receiver.
I haven't yet seen anyone on these boards solve this problem the way we all want (HDMI or DVI connection)--the solution I suggested was suggested by another member as well.

  • What is the best router for mugs connectivity

                       i am looking for best networking institute in India, for optical networking please suggest, have heard about Networkers Zone (http://networkerszone.com/) , however needs suggestion and what is the best router for mugs connectivity.

    For training on the Cisco Optical I would rrecommend Fastlane http://www.fastlane.si/ they would be able to fullfill your training requirements either in India or at another location even at the Cisco Factory in Monza, they can tailor courses to your specific requirements and also do switching and routing courses too, I have know one of the instructors for over 10 years they are very good.
    As far as recommending the best router, that all depends on the application, not what you mean by mugs connectivity, I know what mugs is in English but not sure if thats what you mean or if it is an acronym for something else   in any case if you post in the router section of Net-Pro with your specific requirements I'm sure someone woule be able to help/advise accordingly.

  • What is the best resolution for pics in the drop zones of idvd?

    What is the best resolution for pics in the drop zones of iDVD?
    Also: iDVD always seems to align a pic to the left, can I change this anywhere?
    thanks

    Hello, Hans.
    Re: drop zone pic resolution - I generally don't go below 1000 pixels wide (iDVD will resize these images to a slightly smaller format, but I've controlled the largest part of the downsizing in Photoshop Elements).
    The alignment in iDVD is goofy.  The best I've achieved is trial and error -- adding blank background or cropping my image in the downsizing process (see above) to position my image.

  • Best Setup For Frequent File Sharing On Home Network?

    Hi guys,
    I'm setting up an office at my house with multiple computers on a network, and we'll be sharing files over the network frequently. My question is, what is the best setup for this?.. Fastest transfer of files, stable wireless connection, etc.
    All of the computers will be Macs (iMacs and Macbooks).
    We'll be editing videos/photos on the computers. (Potentially large files)
    Is the easiest setup just to have the main computer attached to a good router, setup file sharing on all other computers, and just do it that way?
    Or would it be better to create some sort of NAS?
    Also can someone reccomend a good router for this type of scenario?
    Thanks for any help given.

    NAS is the right tool for this job.
    It is expensive but the market leaders.. synology and QNAP have really been doing it for long time and the ability to do file store/sharing and most importantly backup in these is excellent. Pick the best you can afford.. and buy disks that are in the recommended list. ie the cheapest are not always the best.. indeed they seldom are.
    Plan very carefully for rotation of USB drives (easy and cheap now with 4TB single drives). Rotate backups with offsite location on weekly basis.
    I would buy a 4 disk case.. you can use 4x3TB which are the best value at the moment.. that gives you 9TB of storage.. plus redundancy for a dead drive.
    Alternatives are using a Mac Mini as a server.. with a large stack of disks on it.. generally should be thinking thunderbolt if you want speed. Hideously expensive though for now.
    You can buy an Extreme or TC.. either would work well. TC allows you easy TM backups without using your NAS..
    Edit very large files on the computer. ie copy to computer.. edit.. copy back to the NAS.
    Editing very large files over wireless.. not good. Multiply that by mutliple computers.. not even fair.
    Copy a large project to the computer.. work on it.. copy back to the NAS.. in the meantime Time Machine should be able to take care of incremental backups.
    There are heaps and heaps of solutions.. as long as it is logical and easy to you.. and covers what you need.
    Don't skimp.. spending a $1000 for a NAS with disks.. plus extra for the backup disks.. that represents how many day's work for you plus anyone you have helping.. $$$$ ????
    A mini as a server is a good alternative.. You don't need to run server OS.. but share files to the network. Very hard to build the capacity of the NAS though.
    And a Mac Pro is now a joke without internal slots and cages for drives. (nice machine but wrong for this).
    And Apple have nothing in between.. a short tower case.. been missing for a long long time.

  • How to set up connection for directv receiver, TV, and home theater system?

    Can some one please show me the CORRECT way to connect my Directv receiver (it has no HDMI), Panasonic Viera HDTV (has 3 HDMIs) and my Samsung home theater HT-Z510 (has 1 HDMI)? The second question is with the set up that you advise, can I play the TV sound through my home theater speakers? and How do I do that each time I want to listen the TV sound through my home theater speakers? I am new and confused about all this so please provide or explain step by step please. Thanks in advance.

    Making sense of your connections on a message board is never easy. Hopefully you can piece this information together.
    Direct TV box to Panasonic TV using S-video cable....assuming it's standard definition. Component video if the box is HD. Run standard stereo RCA cables to the appropriate input for sound threw the TV speakers.
    Your Panasonic TV will have a set of stereo(left/white,right/red) outputs. Run cable from that output into the same inputs on the Samsung surround unit. Use the sound units effects to acheive simulated surround. This is assuming you have no digital outputs on your box. If you do, you'll be able to get 5.1 when available using a digital connection.
    Good luck.

  • Best practice for RAC connections

    Got a question of what people consider best practice for setting up high-availability connection pools to a RAC cluster. Now that you can specify the fail-over logic right in the thin connection string it seems like there are three options.
    A) Use OCI connections and allow the fail-over logic to be maintained in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
    B) Use simple thin connections with multi-pools and let WebLogic maintain the fail-over logic.
    C) Use simple thin connections with fail-over logic in the connection string.
    Thanks,
    Rodger...

    If you need XA, then follow the WebLogic documentation. If not, then
    you have much more freedom. The thin driver can be configured to
    use the tnsnames.ora file if that helps you. WebLogic much prefers the
    thin driver to the OCI-based one, which can kill a JVM with OCI bugs.
    If you do driver-level failover, each failed connection will cost a test
    and replace. If you use multipools, WLS can be configured to flush a
    whole pool when it finds a connection bad, and also make the failover
    at the pool level, right then, so application delay is minimized.

  • Best Resolution for 8" Digital Photo Frame

    What is best resolution to scan 2-1/4" medium format B&W negative film for display on an 8" DPF with a resolution of 800x600 pixels?

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum.
    120 film inherently will have a lot of detail on it (after all it's still used by professionals) so you don't want to miss anything - 3200 dpi is probably a good setting for a scanner. It's always best to have a high resolution master which you can make smaller sized copies of afterward.

  • What is the best resolution for adding and viewing pictures/images in ibooks?

    I'm trying to add pictures/images and I was wondering what the best resolution is for viewing?  Any help would be great.

    iBook Author seems to scale the images automagically during the book generation, so targeting iPad's native resolution should be fine.
    Havign said that, I'm currently creating art based on the assumption the next generation of the device will have double resolution screen, so a photograph should be scaled to 2048x1536 pixels if you want it to be full screen at 1:1 pixel mapping.
    If you're creating widgets, the art (probably) won't be scaled, and you'll need to use the pixel dimensions you want the art to appear on screen.

    I know this is some time ago yet some one looking for same answer might find this useful.  I find reviews about SSDs - one for example is : http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/ it describes - Samsung 850 Pro 256GB as best performer - Compares several SSD to others.

  • Best Resolution for an iPad using Captivate 7

    I'm using Captivate 7 and choose the preset iPad landscape resolution for the project.  The Captivate manual states to use the preset iPad sizes to yield the best results.  However, the module is too big for the iPad screen.  I found an older posting that recommended using 980 X 660 for an iPad and provided this link as a general resolution resource.  Before I continue to build more modules, can anyone share some advice?  Are there different size iPad screens that are causing this issue?  I'm I missing something obvious?
    Thanks.

    Hi Dee Gee,
        The best ipad lanscape project size : 1024 X 627  (with CpPlaybarMobile)
        The best ipad Potrait project size : 768 X 883  (with CpPlaybarMobile)
    For example
    Captivate Project dimensions in  landscape mode width = 1024
    Captivate Project dimensions in  landscape mode height = View Port size of the ipad in landscape mode - Playbar size (we suggest to use CpPlaybarMobile, whose height is 45 pixels) - space occupied by navigation bar+ browser bar(96)
    Captivate project dimension height = 768 - 45 -96 = 627
    To find out viewport size of a device, check it out on viewportsizes.com
    Thanks,
    Sankaram.

  • Best resolution for different screen sizes?

    Hi,
    I just created a project and several of the viewers complained that they had to scroll horizontally in order to view the movie.
    What is the best resolution to record my next project in so as to ensure that no user will have to scroll (neither vertically or horizontally) to see the contents?
    Alternatively, is there some type of feature that automatically adjusts the contents to the viewer's screen?
    Thanks very much in advance.

    Hi there
    I think many folks use 800x600 as a common size.
    Choosing the "Best" resolution is nearly always a bit of an art form. You need to consider the lowest common denominator. For example, are your tutorials intended for senior citizens? If so, then you need to consider that they may be running an older computer configured for a smaller resolution.
    There are ways to coax the video to play back at whatever resolution is available, but they all will involve a sacrifice in quality. This is because any time you play back your project at a different size than it was recorded, the quality will suffer. The degree to which it suffers depends entirely on how much scaling is happening. Scale just a little and it's not too bad. Scale a lot and things go downhill.
    One way to allow scaling is to link to the .SWF instead of the .HTM that is produced. Another way is to edit the HTML page Captivate creates. Remove the pixel values and insert percentages.
