Here's my hookup on your advice....

You guys got anymore suggestions as to how I could improve this hookup? Remember I'm leaving for school in 10 days so the new hookup will be a lot "cleaner." I realize that it looks ghetto right now...

Daegras · 08-14-2004, 06:51 PM

I'm just wondering this. Is your picture really blurry on the tv? If it's not, then what did you do to make it look good? I can't seem to get a clean picture on my tv, it always looks really blurry and gross.

alex · 08-14-2004, 06:53 PM

Well its slightly blurry when I'm just on the windows screen. However, I changed the aspect of the TV and it looked a little better. Then I started to play Joint Ops, and the picture of the game is clean as hell. It's not HD quality, but its damn near as good as the monitor. I would recommend fooling with the different aspects of your TV.

Daegras · 08-14-2004, 06:55 PM

Gotcha. Any computer settings you made to get the picture to work?

alex · 08-14-2004, 06:58 PM

Not really... Besides changing my monitor settings from the highest, (1280x1240 i think) to 1224x768 when I'm playing Joint Ops.

Daegras · 08-14-2004, 07:01 PM

ok, i've gotta try doom3 on it at some point.

alex · 08-14-2004, 07:05 PM

is Doom 3 really that great? I like 1st person shooters, but I was never a huge fan of the original Doom...

Daegras · 08-14-2004, 07:07 PM

Lemme put it this way man. The first Doom was pretty good, but not the best. This doom is just damn scary. If you play it in the dark, with good high sound, and alone, you will **** yourself. From what I've played, it's well thought out, has freakish lighting, and has some scary as **** sound. You owe it to your machine to buy this game and play it start to finish.

alex · 08-14-2004, 07:17 PM

wow. if its that highly recommended, I will be at Best Buy tomorrow...

Daegras · 08-14-2004, 07:27 PM

Trust me, it is. But if you buy it tomorrow, you CANNOT play it until it gets dark. Basically, go get it tomorrow, then read the note on the back of the keyboard map thing. You have to follow it to get the full experience.

Craig · 08-14-2004, 09:06 PM

Alex,

Thanks for setting that up! It looks amazing...and take Daeg's advice...do NOT play doom3 until its dark out and you can either turn that sound system up to 11 or put on a nice set of headphones...insta-poopy-in-yur-panties!

aliendude · 08-14-2004, 11:14 PM

I love Doom 3

, just keep in mind that you have to heavily tweak it to get the best performance. Check out this thread for help.

Daegras · 08-14-2004, 11:54 PM

actually dude, if you could give me some more specific instructions, i'd love to try out what you have there.
