I have an ATI-All in wonder with one DVI, and a Cable Input. If I plug in my cable, and use the monitor connected digitally, will the major networks be in High Def?

Thanks

is your ATI HD?

if so, then yes, I belive you'll be able to display HD. note that it will be letterboxed, b/c the monitor is not widescreen

Yes.

But you need an HDTV tuner card to view high def. I have the ATI HDTV wonder
Ati HDTVwonder (http://www.ati.com/products/hdtvwonder/)

But beware, It only works for over the air broadcast signals, NOT hd signals from your cable or sattelite provider. It has inputs for both a digital signal and analog. Since my building the cable is non-hd it works for me, broadcast in HD and cable in analog.

Also, product has gotten mixed reviews and can be a hassle. For example I can only view hdtv on my primary monitor, but analog can be viewed on either.

Goes without saying though that the High Def picture quality is amazing on the Dells.


Hope this helps.
