Hi everyone!
I have two computers systems set up right next to each other. My wife and I just watched the Oregon/Boise football game on live OTA TV with Microsoft Media Center using both systems [first time we compared the systems side by side].
System A
GTX+ 9800 GPU
Acer 19" monitor
Pinnacle PCTV 800e USB TV capture stick
System B
GTS 250 GPU
21.5" Acer monitor
Hauppauge WinTV HVR 1600 PCI capture card
We recognized a huge difference between the two. Here are some of the main differences:
Colors on System A much more vivid and deep whereas System B colors appear somewhat faded and dull.
Clarity on System A much more clear.
System A was somehow approximately 0.05-1 second faster in picking up and broadcasting the OTA signal.
My question is this: How might I determine if the quality difference is located in my GPU, Monitor, or TV capture card/device?
Does the motherboard and/or CPU play much of a role in these differences?
Last question: Is there someway I can adjust the GPU to create better colors and clarity?
I would appreciate some understanding in these areas.
Thanks,
Soar
