Well, I've got another newbish question for you video card guys. A television in my bedroom just broke, and I was going to buy another monitor to replace my old Dell 1280x1024 monitor anyway, so I figured why wouldn't I just buy a small TV and use the HDMI output on my Radeon HD 5770 to hook my PC up to it?
Is this possible? Would my PC be able to detect and use a small HD Television as a monitor? And if it could, what performance would I get out of it (e.g., comparable to what monitor resolution?), and how could I set it up? I know how hard it can be for my somewhat lackluster graphics card to even handle high monitor resolutions, and I don't know what an HD TV would do to it... if this can even be done...
By the way, if this CAN be done, but my graphics card isn't capable of handling the load, I'll be willing to use the money I saved to buy a Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon 5870...
Any help would be appreciated,
-Matt
