Yes will work with your Analog set today and will also work with your future LCD HDTV set.Dont know when you are planning to buy the HDTV in future. If it is 1 yr from now then i would suggest you buy a very simple 40-50$ DVD player for your analog right now. The reason i suggest is that in a year's time the HD DVD player would become quite cheaper (hoping) and you will be better off to purchase a HD Player for your HDTV and not a upconverting DVD player. Hope this helps!

It states it has S-Video out. That would mean Analog capable. I hope so as if I get one for my 36" analog. I have no interest to go HDTV until they work out lots of bugs...and set some standards they plan on sticking with.

anon4, what standards do you want to see in HDTV and please elaborate on some of these bugs that you mention? Also, I belive this has a component output, which I believe is analog? Buying an analog only TV would not be a very bright idea considering that all TV broadcasts will have to be digital in the near future.

Well, I see two questions in one.The first one, "Can I install this card in my Win7 computer?" Yes this card works with Win 7.The second, "Can I attach the TV cable, and watch TV on the computer monitor?" Maybe, to my know this card only works with standard tv signal, doesn't accept HD signals. I say yes only, if you have a box cable converter, or if in the area where you live exist standard tv broadcasting.I hope this help you.

It didn't work for me. No signal at all. I have since found out that you need a analog to digital converter to convert the VGA (analog) signal to the HDMI (digital)signal. I may be explaining this wrong, but something like this. Regardless, i had to order a totally different cable with a converter. This cable did nothing for me.

I'd like to know how much power this display will draw in 3d. I have active 3d on a plasma and passive 3d on an lcd and the perceived difference is negligable . You can quote specs all you want but in the end your eye makes the call. The one thing both of my 3d sets have in common is they draw alot of wattage to display 3d content. If Sony fixes that they have given me a strong reason to purchase.

At least you can get your TV to recognize the signal, my tv won't pick up on the hdmi connection. But if i connect it directly to my TV, our when I had my 1080i TV, to change the setting all you would have to do is change it on your playstation, as long as you have 1080P and you change it to automatic, you should be able to get it to work fine in 1080P...sorry this is one year late?

I hope you can answer this for me. I'm planning on getting this tv due to the awesome reviews, but am curious about connecting it to my PC. My PC tower has the plug for what I'm thinking is called a VGA. It is blue and has 15 pin holes, 3 rows of five. Now, I figure I will have to purchase a special cord to use this tv as a monitor. I'm confused about which is VGA, DVI, and HDMI. What cord do I need to purchase so this will work as a monitor for me? Thanks in advance!

Like all LCD monitors, you MUST use it in the native mode (in this case, 1900 x 1200) if you want each and every pixel to be sharp. Most of the newer cards support this resolution (you should select EXACTLY the monitor's native resolution; no higher and no lower). Added 5/2/08: After living with the monitor for 10 days (using the supplied HDMI cable with a HDMI-DVI adapter), I have to admit, I agree with R. McGinn. Text and all pixels were absolutely sharp in programs such as Photoshop, but after hours of trying, I was still unable to obtain sharp text on MS Explorer. Tried everything (new drivers, text size changes, resolution changes). Finally gave up yesterday and returned the monitor. Also had significant problems with color accuracy and the "ambient light sensor" causing color shifts. OK if you're not picky about color accuracy and text sharpness!

Hello George. Talked to Sony customer service three times today. Gave them Model & Serial numbers of our Vega Triniton. They confirmed it was a projector TV that entitled people to a free tv with free shipping. Our TV was not a projection TV. Suppose yours was? Anyway, the TV is at the curb for the City to pick up on Wednesday. Sony and I are no longer going to do business, but that's OK. Thanks for all your help.

I use it in 1080 with my ps3, no problems at all. Haven't tried in other resolutions. Hope this helps you out.

If you add an NVIDIA gaming card it does great. I have a 3D card purchased from Amazon. without any changes, each one comes with different cards depending on how they were received for refurbishment. You may luck out and get a gaming card.

Seiki 4k display works fine if connected using an ACTIVE DisplayPort adapter. I will attempt to hook up second 4k DISPLAY via the DVI port next week. I expect it will take some testing of video card settings and has perhaps 50% chance of working before I give up due to sunk cost.

Amazon fulfills our orders and they house them. We have no control over the systems from this point forward, so that means we will unfortunately not be able to add any video cards or customize the system. We can make recommendations for video cards that will work, but for the best value, we will have out AAC-X4S (gaming model) out shortly.

I bought this TV for a second home. The Condo Unit comes with analog and digital cable. When I do the Channel Setup Scan ( both Analog and Digital), I only pick up the Analog. I was told that I need a convertor. I also bought a small Sony LCD, and when I did the Setup. it picked up both Analog and Digital and was able to view the HD Channels. Any suggestions??

Hey all - hate to break this to ya, but I just tried it out on my 3d setup, and this receiver doesn't seem to pass through at all - I've tried it with DirecTV 3d channels, and with my PS3, and if I connect directly to the TV HDMI, it works just fine, but going through the receiver, as soon as I try and view 3d content, there is no dice. Kind of annoyed here, since I bought this receiver about 1.5 years ago, and it looks like now I'll either have to go through the painful process of hooking up 3d devices directly to the TV, or buy a new 3d capable receiver - poop! :( Well - good luck - hope you folks have better luck than I did :(

Umm... since you didn't actually ask a question, I'll answer the one I think you meant to ask. Yes, the 980H will work with non-HD TVs. It has composite and s-video connections for "legacy" connectivity, and it can output 480p over component for progressive scan TV sets.Hope that's what you were looking for.

It will technically work, but only as a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter." It will not have any 2D or 3D acceleration functions and will only handle lower end standard resolutions. (800X600, 1024X768, and 1280X1024 only) There are no direct Windows 7 drivers for it. Only the base standard driver will work with it. The last driver that had any 2D or 3D acceleration for this card would date back to Windows 98. This is mainly geared around server use these days. It's not something I would recommend for desktop computer use. It's great for home servers that operate in text mode, though. It will technically work, but only as a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter."

I have nearly the same setup. Here's what you do. Run HDMI from your components to your STR-DG920 for the best sound; but also run component video from your components to your STR-DG920 for the picture. Then run component video to your analog TV. Walla!, you get the best picture your TV can handle, and the best sound your STR-DG920 can handle.The problem is that your STR-DG920 (and virtually every other A/V receiver) don't cross the Digital/Analog divide. Your HDMI Digital input signal will not exit via any analog output.
