Hi folks
Anyone had any luck using a maxent 30" hdtv for a pc monitor?
I can get decent images from my matrox g550 but the text sucks.
cheers

Hi,
I have a MX-26x3 which is probably similar to the 30" version. I purchsed my set primarily for use as a PC monitor. After playing with settings endlessly I figured out how to get the pixels correct so the text is displayed correctly and smoothly. I have an ATI 8500 All-in-Wonder video card. I had to set the resolution to 1280x720. That displays correctly for me but however does not take up the whole display. I also have the mx-26 set to 1:1. Any other sizes (16:9, 4:3) are no good. I am approximately loosing about 2" at that display size. I now purchased a newer ATI card off ebay and when that comes I am hoping I can run at 1366x768. For anyone with ATI cards I would reccomend downloading DNA-ATI drivers HERE (http://www.dna-drivers.nl). They seem to have a few more resolutions than what comes in the standard drivers however for me the 1366x768 resolution is blurred. I hope the new ATI ALL-In-Wonder Radeon 9800 displays how I want! I'll be sure to report back.
Cheers! :smokin:
