Hi,
I just bought this tv on saterday and spent the weekend playing around with it and i have to say it is a truely excellent buy.
The problem im having is getting the pc connection to work the way i want it - lets just say im not sure if its even do-able.
The plan was to get this tv and dispense of all tv type periferals and just use my pc for playing dvd's, recording, games etc etc.
Seperately everything works superbly. The digital tv works ok, i can only get a weak signal but is good enough til i get a better ariel and when the pc is plugged in the games such as far cry and quake 4 look superb on it.
The problem i have is with the PC connected i cant then switch to the iDTV source as it reports "No Signal".
The TV is connected to my pc through a dvi cable at both ends and is used as the secondary monitor as i have another LCD monitor plugged in. I have tried disabling the TV in windows but the only way to get the iDTV back is to physically unplug it and then turn the TV off and on again.
Needless to say having to go though that every time i want to switch between playing games and watching tele will get pretty annoying let alone making it impossible to record anything.
Any help or suggestions will be appreciated
