[QUOTE="geoffstgermaine, post: 260553, member: 20262"] I have a couple of questions about connecting my iMac to my HDTV. I have a 24" iMac with the nVidia 7600GT card and I would like to connect it to my Samsung 40" LCD tv which has 1366x768 native resolution. 1. Can I connect it and run it at HDTV resolutions using an VGA connector? I assume that I can since monitors can connect on this and support higher resolutions that my tv, but I want to be sure before I order an adapter. My tv has a PC input that is VGA and the manual says that it does not support PC connection over the HDMI connection so it seems that connecting over the mini DVI to DVI adapter is out. Obviously the s-video/composite adapter is out as that would only support 480i. 2. Can the iMac output 1366x768 to the tv? That is the native resolution of the TV so that is ideally what I would want to output to it. Thanks! -Geoff [/QUOTE]
