Hi Quinnicus, thanks for acknowledging my panicked posting before I found this thread!
Just as an asside, I have bought a second hand laptop which is a bit of a beast!
i7 Quad core with 16GB of DDR3 RAM.
Something of an upgrade from the old machine I have!
As it has HDMI out, I would like to connect it to my KDL40NX803 in order to watch DVD's, and also to use it as an occasional large screen monitor.
The last time I did this, the technology was a little different, CRT screen, Individual red, yellow and white banana plugs, and the result was somewhat underwhelming!
Having read the i-Manual, I'm more confused than before:
QUOTE from the relevent page:-
- HDTV* (Full HD model only)
- Horizontal (pixel)/Vertical (Line): 1920/1080
- Horizontal frequency (kHz)/Vertical frequency (Hz): 67.5/60
- Standard: EIA*
Note:
- This TV's PC Input does not support Sync on Green or Composite Sync
- This TV's PC input does not support intertlaced signals.
- For optimum picture quality, it is recommended to use the signals in the chart with a 60Hz vertical frequency (boldfaced).
- 1080p timing when applied to the HDMI input will be treated as a video timing and not a PC timing. This will affect the "Video Input Settings" and "Screen" settings. To view PCcontents, set "Screen Format" to "Wide" and "Display Area" to "Full Pixel".
Err...What?
Do even Sony technicians know what that means?
All I wan to know is if something is going to go BOOM when I try it!
Had to laugh when trying to find HDMI 2 and 3, hunted all round the back of the set for hours finally finding them hidden on the left hand edge!
Any advice would be helpful
