VGA vs HDMI vs Refresh Rates - Page 3

Okej, Okej, I admit defeat

I must also admit I couldn't get hold of my TV:s manual yesterday since Samsungs website refused to serve me the PDF.

When using my HTPC I use 1360x768@60Hz. Using the TV card that receives normal PAL TV I guess the HTPC does a pulldown for me but when using my old DVD player that is connected through RGB SCART and outputting PAL I guess the TV goes to 50Hz.

SEALen uses D-sub where 1366x768 (at least with nvidia) is not possible. He's limited to 1360x768 or 1368x768 (the value has to be a multiple of 8). And his LCD doesn't support 50Hz over D-sub.

You are right I use DVI to HDMI, this allows me to add a custom resolution. I don't use the VGA (D-sub) connection, so can't test this situation. I always tought HDMI is more strict with resolutions than VGA.

Indeed it is, but it also depends on the LCD you have. Not all manufacturers use only the standard resolutions, some allow a bit more over HDMI.
