All you had to say was you can change the resolution on CRT and LCD but LCD can't take up more pixels or less like CRT.The LCD pixels are fixed had have to use supported resolution or extrapolation.Because when you lower the resolution the LCD can't take up more pixels .

When I got confused again about LCD and CRT you did not explain how supported resolution or extrapolation work but go on rambling how I can't read.

When I was saying you need a S-video out or TV-out and you saying I do not need it.You did not say most graphics card have a VGA output you can hook up to your TV if it has a VGA input.

You keep saying over and over you do not need a S-video out or TV-out .

When I ask you to explain more about VGA input to your TV.You say over and over You hook your computers VGA output to your LCD. That LCD could be a computer LCD or an LCD TV. or LCD TVs have VGA inputs or No, YOU DO NOT need an s-video out or composite-out, they are just another means to an end. Newer CRT and LCD TVs have VGA inputs.

You post about VGA input are barely understandable when I was saying I'm confued .Would it not be best if you write like this Your graphics card have a VGA output and you hook it up to your TV VGA input.Than would it not hurt to say if all graphics card have VGA output or TV all have VGA input.

So I don't post here later on saying all TV have a VGA input or all graphics card have a VGA output.

Your post are nothing more but rambling about yes or no you are write you are wrong and playing word games .Your reply with very little information when I'm getting confued.When I ask you to elaborate or explained more you keep saying the same thing over and over.

I'm sorry but you are the only one at techguy I have encountered doing this.All the 700 post count you are only one that seems to be hong up on word games and who is saying what or what I'm saying, or you write you are wrong .Than explaining and and clearing up my tin bit of information about CRT,LCD and graphics card .

Granted you post alot of useful information here and should get credit for it and I thank you for that , but what-ever that other stuff is it seems to be derailing the post here.

Also it should have been noted my english is not that good and it could also be a communication problem.

Let me start again, from the beginning.

YOU started this thread, accusing some computer stores of being crooks.
YOU started this thread with accusations and false claims.
YOU did not start this thread asking questions about technical issues.

In my first and subsequent posts I tried to correct your misconceptions about the technology. I will admit, I didn't explain that all video cards had VGA output, as, I though it was common knowledge since every video card for the past 15 years has had that connector (and your experience states you "Understanding basic PC hardware") ...though recently video cards are using DVI, they come with a DVI to VGA adapter so you can still use your older LCD or CRT monitors.

So, to summarize, you did not start this thread asking for technical help. Your post claimed some computer stores were crooks, when in actuality what they told you was correct. The only caveat being that a certain game may not have run as well as expected, but, if it didn't you can return the computer since it was purchased under false pretenses.

They say you can change your LCD resolution and no you cannot change the resolution like a CRT.

They claim you can hook up a computer to a TV but no TV turner card.They claim you can get the picture on a small CRT or small LCD on a big TV with a S-video or TV-out :eek You will damage your TV at that resolution.

They claim this game will run on this computer or that but no it will not run on it.

Businesses that do not take care of their customers will soon find themselves out of business, right?

Why should consumer protection law be enacted? Why should government be the ones responsible for making sure business is conducted with ethics?

No. The consumer will boycott those businesses that deserve to be run out of business. My tax money should not be used as a substitute for personal responsibility.

Here is a video card Microsoft is explaining .It only has one VGA.So if you have one VGA hook up to a CRT or LCD there is no extra VGA left.



The DVI ports must be new like the new TV's that allow a VGA input.




So they have been using VGA ports for 15 + years now?? Some high end video cards you can get 4 VGA or 4 DVI ports or more?

You can get a DVI to VGA adapter any where from $5 to $10...

Some video cards you can hook up 2 monitors some only one.Has to be how the video card is like.

Some you can get TV programs on the computer and some not.

I thought VGA is analog and DVI digital.And thought older CRT are only analog and must be VGA .But new CRT or LCD are digital and are DVI .

So why hook up a VGA to a new CRT or LCD ?

[Stoner]

Buy what you need and ignore the rest.

I thought you were upset that you card only had one VGA input and you needed a second, the adaptes work, Dell sends them with their newer pc's that have 19 or 20 inch LCD monitors, They have a spliter on the back so you can hook up 2 VGA monitors to one DVI. They work, cause the PC I'm on right now has two 20inch LCD's connected to a DVI (1) to VGA (2) spliter.. (The one with the blue connctors is the DVI to VGA spliter)

Is that showing the same image on both screens? Or is it two seperate displays allowing you to extend your desktop?

So using the spliter you get 2 VGA or using the other spliter you get 2 DVI?
