Monitor Question for S. Ross

[jcskeeter]

Sorry Shane I didn't know how to contact you in another way.

Anyway I had a question about one of your blogs on LFHighDef relating to this:

"ANYWAY...so I had this monitor sitting here and I got to thinking. My Dell's have a component in, and my Kona LH has component outs, so I could use one of the Dells as my reference monitor (not broadcast colors, but still a nice image), as it is much bigger than my 14" HD CRT."

I tried taking the component signal from my broadcast monitor (BM signal is from a KONA LHe) via the loop outs and hooked them up to my Dell 24" and I wasn't impressed at all. There was alot of noise and jaggys, almost like it was at like half res. I don't know the exact part # for mine so I don't know if we have the same one. It wasn't as bad when I put the component signal into PIP with the DVI signal. Would it be different if my signal was coming straight from my LHe. Are there settings that I would need to adjust.

Thanks for any info.

I wasn't impressed at all either. Sorry, I should have followed up on that. No, the image was crap. I tried all sorts of adjustments and couldn't get quite the image I liked., much less ANYTHING approaching broadcast quality. Shame. I can't figure out why.

Yeah same here. I'm a little confused why its so crappy and why they even have those connections if it's something you can't even play a dvd on or something like that. Maybe I'll give Dell a call or something, get to the bottom of it. Thanks for your reply. I'll fill you in on anything I find out.
