[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 149301, member: 14776"] Most tvs can be made to work... kind of. My no-name 40" lcd supports 1366x768 1:1 pixel at 66fps. Excelent for desktop use or still images. It also supports 720p@50Hz and 60Hz. Ok for watching movie and tv content, although the scaling and cropping is less than ideal. I am sure that Samsung tvs work ok if you live in a 60Hz country (us or japan), and are satisfied with VGA only and have no worries of future HDCP-demands for HD-DVD/BluRay content. The question is why you would want a limited tv when you are adviced against it? I tend to see things in a larger perspective. People tend to buy tvs first, THEN ask how it will work on forums like this. As long as that is how the market works, Samsung (and others) have no incentive to make usable products. My next tv will give the user full access to its native pixels through a digital connection at a number of usable refreshrates - 48, 50 and 60 Hz at the very least. Stuttering, cropping and scaling@720 is a lot more visible than the difference of 720p vs 1080p. Yet people only want "full HD" and "12megapix digicams" :-) -k [/QUOTE]
