[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 104330, member: 14776"] I am not updated on what brands to choose. Note that I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT GENERAL VIDEO quality (that is for you to decide in the shop). I am talking about optimum PC connectivity. I do believe that Samsung has no 1:1 pixel capable models. I believe that Philips has few or no 1:1 models Sony finally started offering 1:1 in the very latest models Plasmas generally dont do 1:1 (they will often have non-square pixels ayways) Note that the guys in the shop likely wont know anything about this. They will say "Oh yes, it has got a PC connector", pointing to the VGA plug on the back. If you complain about overscan they will sa "oh, thats because youve got a bad computer".
