Our first color tv was a Quasar - if I recall correctly, it was 1970 or 71...


>And you and I probably both remember standing outside a TV store watching Tinkerbell use her magic wand to make the colors drip down over Sleeping Beauty's castle in the opening credits of Disneyland on the amazing display color 19" console they put in the window <bg>

>>Well, snap my garter and call me sore, if I didn't take a look at my viewsonic remote and find PiP. It works while I am on the UT. This is cool daddyo. :))

>>>Okay I misunderstood. I have that working now. I thought you might know how to do PIP from the tv tuner when using the HDMI monitor on the computer. I used to do that with my all-in-wonder card but the video went directly into the card so I was just watching computer tv in a window. (i can probably do that now as my current graphics card has tv input)
>>>
>>>I think what I'm trying to do requires the TV itself to have pip and for some reason that seems hard to find in LCDs. If the Samsung TOC doesn't have it, I'm sure it isn't common.

>>>>>>NVidia - yes. There is a two screen option in the utility app that comes with the graphics card. I have a 32 inch Viewsonic HDTV that I use for a monitor. I had it on HDMI for a while, but IMHO VGA is better. And for some reason or other, I could not re-size fonts when using HDMI
