I have an LG Plasma Tv 42PC3D-UD I bought a few year ago. I have been trying to learn how I will get the most out of the TV's resolution using my HTPC. It seems that the best picture I get is when I set the option to 1024 x 768. If I try 1280 x 720 it seems "ok" but not a vivid and crystal clear as the other. Can this be correct for a plasma tv? I have some 720p encoded movies and I just want to be be sure I get the most out of it lol.

Plasmas with non-square pixels are a PITA, from what I've read

ya I mean I am fine with the picture but I will be more "aware" of what I am getting the next time out.
