Hello Kent,

Thanks for the suggestion about using my PC directly. I have a ATI All in Wonder Radeon 7500 and it has a DVI out. Couple of questions.

1. Are there any tricks about buying or using a DVI to HDMI cable?

It's digital. It either works or not. Buy a cable, not a gold plated status symbol. You can buy perfectly good DVI-HDMI cables for $12 and a gold-plated advertising copy for $300. (Yes I actually did see a $300 DVI-HDMI cable...)


2. Any tricks about setting the ATI card output to match the HDTV monitor? Right now it is set to 1920x1200 to match my Apple cinema display.

Ohhh boy...

For Windows, I don't have a clue....
