Title: OT: Big screen sorted - now which card?
Post by: mindracing on January 01, 2004, 01:37:40 pm

Thanks to all those who gave input on screens. I've decided to go with a 42" Sony KE-42TS2 which supports XGA.

Which PC card would you recommend to drive it?

Not all Nvidia cards are the same, have a close look at the following thread or you may buy the wrong card:

I'm using an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro with my Plasma and can highly recommend it.  It supports 8x AGP and at around £140 (UK) it's very good value for money - the best in it's class I'd say.  

I just couldn't justify the £300 needed for a 9800.

Were you able to get 1280x720 resolution on the plasma, or 1280x768? If the latter, how are you adjusting the aspect ratio for DVDs?
