[QUOTE="joboehl, post: 149280, member: 23490"] My experience with a Samsung LCD is: - 1:1 is available with VGA and works pretty good. The only problem is that my model don't allow color/gamma control for VGA input, so you need to tweak using the Video drivers. - In my opinion, most of the promissed Dynamic Contrast from Samsung doesn't work without DNIe, witch is not available with VGA. So picture might look better with HDMI. - HDMI doesn't work if your card is not HDCP complients. That's why a lot of users can't get their cards to work trogh HDMI. - HDMI only works good with standard TV definitions (like 1280x720). Non standard resolutions (1360/1366x768) thends to lead to problems over HDMI. Overall I think is a good TV for use with a PC (my TV material is 30fps, so the 60hz limitation is not a issue) but it can be a real PITA to set it up correctly. The thing I like the most on my is that if there is no signal on VGA, the displays enter in standby. So if my HTPC turns off, so does the TV and if the HTPC turns on, the TV turns on too. :) Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
