JPEG files on Hi Def TV
Greets All.
I recently purchased a 50in Hi Def TV. I hooked my Nikon D200 up through the inputs to view the JPEG images and the viewed results were far from spectacular. The images appeared to be unsharp and noisy. I transferred the images to a DVD +R and played them through my new Upconvert DVD player and there was not much improvement in the displayed images. My JPEG images are all shot at the highest resolution and largest file size, and yet the displayed result look not much better than on a conventional TV. Am I missing something here, or is all I can expect? I've scene still photographs displayed during Hi Definition programming (National Geographic on PBS) and these photos look outstanding. I would like to achieve the same results. Thank you, Mark |

I transferred the images to a DVD +R and played them through my new Upconvert DVD player and there was not much improvement in the displayed images. Again, hardly surprising, since your "new upconvert DVD player" is also taking a standard TV resolution image and doing exactly what it says on the box, "upconverting" - otherwise known as interpolation. My JPEG images are all shot at the highest resolution and largest file size, and yet the displayed result look not much better than on a conventional TV. Your HDTV will, almost certainly, have a PC input on the back, somethign like the VGA connector on the back of your monitor. Plug the PC in to it, set the PC video to the native resolution of your TV or the closest that the PC will support, and display your images in slideshow software. That way you will get the full, or almost full, resolution that your screen can offer. -- Kennedy Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's ****ed.

Thank you, I will try your suggestion.
I guess until the BlueRay vs HD-DVD battle is sorted out, this seems like a logical solution. Mark "Kennedy McEwen" wrote in message ... In article , Dirk writes Greets All.

Am I missing something here, or is all I can expect? I've scene still photographs displayed during Hi Definition programming (National Geographic on PBS) and these photos look outstanding. I would like to achieve the same results. I just went through a similar process. I recently bought a Samsung 1080p HDTV. It has a PC monitor connection so I hooked my wife's HP lap top up and tried to set it to 1920x1080. I was disappointed to find that it could not do this. The highest common format of the lap top and the TV was below the highest of the lap top so I was getting a poorer resolution than on the lap top (but a lot bigger). Nonetheless, they looked reasonanble. I contacted HP Support but they confirmed that the lap top could not do 1920x1080. While at this stage, I saw a quite cheap Philips DVD player. It was labelled HD DVD player but the price (£58) seemed too good to be true. On closer inspection, it only plyed regular DVDs (and CDs, VCDs etc) but upscaled them and outputed through HDMI. It claims to show JPGs so there was a hope that it would be a way to show JPGs in full resolution. I decided to check before buying. Meanwhile, my son played with the lap top and TV and managed to get it to output 1920x1080 even though HP Support said that it could not be done. The trick seemed to be to select dual monitor output and have the external monitor selected when querying the resolution. Is there feedback from the monitor to the PC? I didn't think so but somehow he found 1920x1080 this way. JPGs now look very nice in 1920x1080 on the big TV. My son went on to download some HD clips and played them as well. They were also very nice but a little jerky, I guess that the PC was not quite fast enough. -- Seán Ó Leathlóbhair |

The trick seemed to be to select dual monitor output and have the external monitor selected when querying the resolution. Is there feedback from the monitor to the PC? Yes, on modern monitors. In fact, not can the monitor talk back to the PC, but the PC can talk to the monitor too, and control its settings. Communication is via the standard 2-pin I2C bus. Clock, SCL, is on pin 15 and data, SDA, is on pin 12. On older monitors, pins 4, 11 & 12 were used to determine the monitor capability, but with more monitors offering a range of capabilities, the 8 possible combinations from these three pins quickly became inadequate. -- Kennedy Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's ****ed.

I need to reclock it when reading from DVD, but did not do it yet.) Thanks. For the actual functionality, the price was not a surprise. The "too good to be true" referred to the suggestion that it might play HD DVD discs rather than just ordinary DVDs. I think that the labelling was misleading. In the store, I met a couple who had previously bought one and were disappointed by it. However, it turned that they had ignored the HDMI cable and used SCART. When I showed them the HDMI connections on some TVs in the store, they realised that they had one. Maybe, I should have taken their phone number to ask how good it was after being properly connected. I would have researched it further if my son had not sorted out 1920x1080 on the lap top. Since he has, it has no attraction. The lap top shows JPGs at an acceptable rate even though when is pulling them through WiFi from another PC. I have not tried using a USB key or direct from a disc. -- Seán Ó Leathlóbhair |

Was JPEG files on Hi Def TV Now- Problem solved!
Hello All,
Thank you kindly for your responses to my problem. As it turned out my TV did not have inputs to connect to my PC or laptop. What I did discover was that it had an SD Card slot. Although my Nikon uses CF Cards, I purchased a SD Card, transferred some JPGS files to it and inserted into the card reader. What a huge difference it made! The HiDef TV really rendered those images in incredible sharpness and detail. I recommend anyone shopping to by a Hi Def TV make sure it has some sort of card reader. You wont be disappointed.

My TV does not have a card slot but it does have a PC connection.
Once the resolution was sorted (see my other posts), it also did a very good job of showing the photos. Both (PC connection and card slot) are probably good features. -- Seán Ó Leathlóbhair On 21 Sep, 04:36, "Dirk" wrote: Hello All, Thank you kindly for your responses to my problem.
