You just put the set in PC mode and that's it, there is nothing to adjust. my tv has a sub menu for VGA to set horizontal and vertical sync settings. out of curiosity what were the image quality differences? what made 720p look better than the panels native res?

sorry for being so curious, but what made it unreadable, was the size too small, because that can be solved by changing the font size in display settings

Can't beat a local outfit that you can face-to-face with.
The nature of a digital connection is that it is less reliant on Buzz-word terms and materials.

No, you should be ok as long as they meet the following...:p
# Supports multiple audio formats, from stereo to multi-channel sound. # High-density triple-shielding for maximum rejection of RFI and EMI. #24k gold contacts for maximum digital signal transfer and corrosion resistance. #Nitrogen gas-injected dielectric insulator maximizes video signal strength for the best possible picture and ultra-low loss.

Anyway....
Honestly, other than the occaisional hiccup when one of my hard disks spins up, I can't tell the difference between OTA HD from my built in tuner and OTA HD from my HD Wonder card, displayed via the computer. Ya, I lose those 6 pixels of horizontal resolution but whatever.... I'm still ecstatic to be on a display better than my 19" CRT TV purchased during my freshman year of college, 8 years ago...
