I would like to get any of my Macs (a PowerBook G4 or Mac mini) to hook up to my Philips 30PW8402/37B HDTV, but there doesn't seem to be any success reports online. Apparently, you can use DisplayConfigX software to make your Mac output video from its DVI port appropriate for your TV, but I can't seem to get the settings right... i.e. the resolution seems very fuzzy, and I can't read text smaller than 48-60 points... also, tops or sides of the screen are cropped.
I am using a DVI-to-HDMI cable between the Mac and the TV (i.e. DVI-out on the Mac to HDMI-in on the TV).
Has anyone been able to make this TV work as a display for the Mac? If so, can you share your settings/configuration?

hi, (ANS) lcd = lcd. it really is used contained in the Ipod participant so having no lcd show is a important shy away no count number how cost effectively its being bought at. **i does not recommend you to purchase an IPOD and not using a operating lcd show. Its a important shy away or set decrease back if the participant doesnt have a operating show show. Why? because the biggest IPOD gamers purposes are operated by skill of the show show. In different words do not purchase it, it does not be worth having notwithstanding if it may nonetheless play music. operating example how are you going to be able to load music tracks or elect tracks you want to pay interest too without using the show? no count number how lower priced it really is i does not waste your money on it. in case you quite want an IPOD purchase a operating one from new or from 2d hand, and so on. form Regards from Ivan

Maybe try to adjust the resolution/refresh rate from System Preferences (Displays icon). This way, you could "force" a resolution and some dimensions more compatible with your hardware.
