Upgrade from 480p to 720p

[Rog/The/Martian]

I bought a 32" 480p westinghouse for my apartmet a year ago and am now regreting not going wth 720p. Is it possible to upgrade to 720p that doesnt require me to go out and buy a new t.v.?

Some monitors will allow you to move from 480 to 720 or 720 to 1080 based on the input used; for instance, my TV will do 720p if I use component, but 1080p if I use HDMI.

If it doesn't do that, well you might have to buy a new TV.

Can you supply the model number of your current TV?

Rog,

Went to Newegg.com for the info on your model. The native resolution of your TV is 1366x768, which for most purposes is essentially 720p. Can you elaborate on what exactly you want in 720p? Cable box, Xbox 360, etc? And what type of connection you are using (VGA, DVI, S-video, etc)?

If this is from a video card to the TV, you should just be able to adjust the resolution from inside windows.

I run a phillips dvd surround sound with video components connects. Also, i run alot of things off my laptop,movies ,music vids,movies etc through the VGA/D-sub port, this is mainly why I need to upgrade, the clarity of streaming live netflix from the laptop to the t.v sucks

What resolution do you set on your TV when your laptop is connected?

What kind of network connection do you have? Netflix bases quality on your connection I believe.

Very true. If the connection from the laptop looks fine when you are NOT using Netflix, it is more a Netflix problem than the TV or connection. Also, normal DVD players output 480p, while an upconverting player will output (up-convert) the signal to 720p if it is setup that way in its settings.
