The PC VGA (D-sub) port will output whatever resolution the TV will handle, providing the video output of the PC will match it. Don't expect HD results.
I used an old Compaq Vio (or something like that) as my media server. It was connected to my Sony 55" SXRD and to my home wireless network. I could surf and watch Net "stuff". But the resolution was not full 1080P as my TV supports.
But it was watchable.
I have an old computer (Dell P4 2.8ghz w/ HT) that I want to use as a DVD player and media center for my HDTV. I am taking my old flat panel out of my living room where it is connected to an upconverting DVD player, and HD cablebox and want to put it in my bedroom. I have the computer laying around and found that the back of the TV has a VGA input. Is there a way to make the computer an upconverting DVD player as well as able to broadcast internet TV in HD? Also, are there sites that show HD content or broadcast shows?
