really?

so its BEST to use the vga connector on a TV for this?

Potentially less _troublesome_. Video performance of DVI is the same
as HDMI but does not suport Digital Rights Management so is not
trouble ( but no audio in DVI ) at all but I'm having bad feelings
about getting a BluRay drive for the PC.

I was experimenting a little this week comparing VGA to DVI into a
Samsung DLP set. The DVI is a 1:1 pixel relationship so the Windows
desktop shows text that is absolutely clear with no 'rounding'
errors.

The VGA is almost as good but shows some 'fat' spots across the screen
of only vertical lines because the computer and monitor are not at the
same pixel rate. Doing a 'zoom' in the TV blurs it all so it is to be
avoided.
