[QUOTE="Hi There, post: 220530, member: 63802"] Bioguyer, you may want to choose a TV with plenty of extra digital inputs, and a VGA input can't hurt. Otherwise, the same criteria you would use to evaluate performance on television and DVD's would be the performance criteria you would use for a tv in an HTPC setup. Choose the resolution that best supports your needs for watching movies (best available in a reasonably priced tv right now is 1080p), and don't worry about resolution out of the HTPC until you begin your setup. Both ATI and Nvidia make graphics cards capable of running custom resolutions to support just about whatever tv you decide on, and applications such as Powerstrip will allow you to achieve 1:1 pixel mapping on just about any display you want. Once you decide on a tv, check out AVS forum, do a search, and there's likely to be a custom resolution already mapped out for you somewhere. [/QUOTE]
