not sure
Hi all I have a problem with my T.V it does it via RGB on PC input.

Normal T.V don't do it.
I have not tried a game on it yet but i am suspecting it will still do this.

It tears across the screen I have looked at refresh rates but that's capped at 60mhz I have tried a lower res still does it.

If I watch a video on youtube it does it across the top of the whole screen but in this video

http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=r1aq7q&s=4

it only does it on the top left corner using a different player.

Now the graphic card and cpu are crap

ATI 9200
socket A :P 3200
2 Gig of ram etc etc

is it that?.
If I try to run a 720p video on youtube it becomes a slide show which is the PC I know for sure but is this tearing due to a crappy pc?.

Thanks all

Yeah 720p videos need a LOT of processing power. Even for more modern movies on PCs you will need the hardware beef to keep up with it. A dual core is about the minimum required in general. If movies play at a frames per second that's higher than the refresh rate of the monitor it will tear no matter what too.
 
That is very most likely yes, but try another PC just to be sure...

I've had this problem many times before using laptops connected to the TV/Monitor.. and in all those cases, when I tried the monitor/TV using my PC, the tearing becomes almost unnoticable (still happens if you watch out for it very carefully)
 
What media player are you using? I'd reccommend MPC-HC

Make sure you're outputting at the TV's native resolution. Usually 1366x768 for 720p TVs, or 1920x1080 for 1080p TVs.

Also try different refresh rates, switch between 23Hz 50Hz and 60Hz and check.

I doubt it's to do with the specs of your PC. I used to have an Athlon64 3200 system hooked to my 1080p screen and it was flawless.

Flash video is a problem as it is far too demanding for the CPU when decoding/scaling. But you should not have any problems playing regular AVI/MKV files

Hi all so it may be the pc even for a 240p movie on youtube tears cus GPU or even cpu is crap?.

Cant choose any other refresh rate locked at 60 I could over ride and go lower say 50 brb
 
If the refresh rate is locked, then I'd leave it alone, don't force anything unless you're sure it's supported.

Try playing a video file using your favourite media player... Something like an AVI or MKV. If the issue is only with YouTube, then It's deffo due to a slow CPU.

Nah like ya just said I will leave it at 60 hahahaha.

Ummmm im lost I could try my quad core with 8800gt then if it still gives that tearing even at 240p on youtube vids its then the TV but why?.

edit

will put xbox on rgb tomorrow if it does it then its the TV.

Any other things to look out for cheers?
