High Resolution DVI Support for Plasma Displays?

spongman asks: "I'm trying to find the best way to connect a computer to a 50" (or larger) plasma display. The display I'm currently looking at is the NEC 50MP2 because its native resolution (1366x768) is high enough to meet my needs and it can display a 16:9 image with square pixels without scaling, but I'm open to suggestions for similarly-capable displays. I also want to use a DVI connection between the computer and the display to reduce interference and noise. The problem I'm having is that I can't work out which video cards support this resolution (or something near it) over a DVI connection. The only card I've found that seems to support this is the PixelPerfect from Imagine Graphics in the UK, but it's based on somewhat old technology (Kyro2) and I'd like a few more choices if possible. Does anyone have experience getting their video card connected to a plasma display over DVI at native resolution?"

Purpose?

[saintlupus]

I suppose which card would be good depends on what the purpose of this is -- specifically, are you going to need killer 3D performance out of this display, or is it going to be a home theatre PC sort of setup?

You might want to take a look at the Matrox cards if you don't need stunning 3d - my G450 supports a wide range of high resolutions, and it is available with DVI-out.

It's not merely an issue of resolution. Walk into a Fry's or CompUSA. Look very closely at the monitors and at the edges of high contrast objects onscreen. There are all sorts of defects like ghosting, etc.

I'm trying to find the best way to connect a computer to a 50" (or larger) plasma display.

I'd sacrifice my ex-girlfriend to the monitor god to get one of those plasma displays.

Two birds with one stone.
