I know it has been discussed before and I searched and couldnt find it.. I was watching this old cartoon from the 80's called Cops. One of the good guys name was Sundown and one of the bad guys name was Nightshade. Is this just weird coincidence or is this where the name for the company and product came from?

How to connect computer to TV

yeah I saw those but even with those the resolution from my video card would make the picture look like shit on the tv. I'm starting to lose hope lol -
How to connect computer to TV
doug118 replied to doug118's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
I just opened up my computer and my power supply is 250watts MAX and all the video cards that are capable of running with my new tv require a minimum of 400 watts. Now I'm at a dead end unless I upgrade my power supply and video card. But at that point I'd rather just spend a few hundred more and buy a brand new computer -

I was there a few weeks ago and it took a little over 90 minutes to do that trip. I have patience though so no worries there -

How to connect computer to TV

See now this is where I'm stumped. I know NOTHING about the internals of computers besides the BASICS. If I opted to buy one of those, what should I look for? I figure if that up-scaler was around $70 I'd like to spend somewhere in the same price range and get the same capabilities. I was also just looking at possibly replacing the tower I have now with something compact like a mac mini but in PC form since there is already a macbook pro in the house. I just found this from best buy and it seems like it's 100x better for the money then the mac mini. any suggestions in that area incase I decide to go that route? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Lenovo+-+Ideacentre+Desktop+/+Intel%26%23174;+Core%26%23153;+i3+Processor+/+4GB+Memory+/+1TB+Hard+Drive/1287442.p?id=1218247183355&skuId=1287442 this is exactly what I have now. to me it's an amazing machine especially since I got it new in box for $99 http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=AST690-U-P925A-R -
I will be making the big move from the northeast out to Los Angeles. I've already been there 3 times this year so I've done all of the tourist stuff but what is there to do when it comes to cars and car audio? Any places to go to or anywhere that has regular meets? I would love to take a trip up to Steve's but I'll be without my own car for a few months so that would be kind of tough (unless someone on here wants to take a trip up there) Any advice would be much appreciated

How to connect computer to TV
doug118 replied to doug118's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
It's a 240hz tv, I hope to god it has a vga input lol I just found out there is no such thing as a vga to hdmi capable. it's impossible BUT there are up-scalers such as this http://www.amazon.com/Atlona-AT-HDVIEW-Scaler-Converter-Powered/dp/B00384D67O would the quality be better with the up-scaler or will using the vga on the tv be the same quality? that box has the vga and 3.5mm audio input plus it comes with a 6' hdmi cable which seems great for only $60, especially since they retail for $110 -
I'm moving into a house that has a 52" mitsubishi led tv and want to know the best way to use the tv as a monitor for my desktop. My computer doesn't have anything more then a vga output. the only vga to hdmi cable I found was a generic one on amazon for $9. will that be suffice or will I need something more to get the full effect of the tv? it's a 240hz tv so I know I won't be able to use the tv to it's full potential but I just don't want it to look like I'm using sega genesis lol

He put matt on blast and went about the situation like a little female. How many threads on these forums do you see about problems with mechman customer service???? I've yet to see one. So he should have sat back and relaxed, ESPECIALLY being in canada. Matt was covering his ass and letting all of the facts be known that the OP left out, like the heavy discount. I sold 4 tired to someone in Canada and he waited 7 weeks for them due to a problem with customs. The guy called me 1 time to figure out the hold up and he uderstood living in Canada sucks when it comes to shipping. The op needs to realize the same or move out of the country

Canada is even worse then hawaii due to customs. You're panties are in a bunch because it's been a month for a CUSTOM alt bracket and 2 HO alts?! Come onnnn. If I were mechman I'd put a stop to the shipment and refund you your discounted money, but then again that's why I don't have my own business lol And boilermaker, I'm sure matt is going to cry himself to sleep tonight due to the fact that you won't purchase an alt from him in the future

This isn't a thread to talk about who does or doesn't like Kanye. It's to let people that do like him know that every Friday he releases a new song on his site for free download. So Appalled and Christian Dior Denim Flow are both pretty good. Enjoy
