I just got a Samsung LNT-4071F 40" LCD TV (1080P, 120Hz, 25000:1 contrast) and a XFX Alpha Dog 8800 GT (670MHz, 512MB) card. Trying to get the best performance out of it, so I had some questions (and this is all new to me).
- XP is listing the monitor as a generic running at 60Hz. The TV runs at 120Hz. Do I need to either change the Hz in windows (there isn’t any other Hz listed though), or is there a profile for the TV I can find? I figure since the Samsung has a ‘game mode’ and a computer input that they would have some kind of profile for XP.
- I’m running a DVI to HDMI cable. Is there anything I need to do to make the image high definition? (A setting or something) Or is it automatically running in HD.
- Okay, I’ll make this easy. Can anyone tell me what I need to make sure I do to get it running the best it can? Any settings for the TV, video card, or in XP itself that I need to change? Thanks for any advice.

The backlights in the monitor run at 120 Hz to reduce flicker. You do not need to run the panel that fast. 60Hz is fine.
You will get the best picture by running at a resolution of 1920 by 1080. I would have hoped that the graphics card would be able to support that although it is only just a VESA standard.
If it does not, 1680 by 1050 us the next lowest that you can get. If you scale this up to full screen it will be slightly fuzzy and slightly distorted (showing a 16:10 image on a 16:9 screen)
If the TV will let you to could turn off scaling and leave 120 pixels on the sides and 15 pixels top and bottom black. Making your 40" TV into about a 36" image, but with better image quality. Keep an eye on the driver updates, you may well see 1920 by 1080 support come out soon if it is not there already.
HD is defined as anything over 720 line resolution, so you will definitely be HD compliant. Any 17" or higher monitor is HD compliant.
The question is will you be able to get 1920 by 1080 (1080p) out of the box, and if not how long you have to wait for NVidia to update the drivers and XFX to pick them up.
You have HDCP so playing Blu-Ray or HD-DVD disks (when you get a drive) will be no problem.

I sympathize which contain your opt to have a new child yet it fairly is a foul, undesirable undesirable thought! Legally: no longer purely can your chum get fired if caught, in maximum places it fairly is a criminal. and additionally you're an accessory. except you opt to have a toddler in penitentiary, forget approximately it. Biologically: there's a reason in vitro fertilization is a low yield proposition: The situations do no longer want impregnation. it fairly is why it always takes dissimilar tries. enable's settle for it - the "usual" way of fertilization usually takes a numerous tries (on customary). Ethically: people who donate sperm accomplish that decrease than very strict situations and decrease than the insurance that their genetic cloth would be used wisely. they have a stunning to have that expectation fulfilled. And what would you tell your new child? That they have been the fabricated from against the regulation? Please re-examine.
