I have a Samsung PPM50H3 wide screen plasma at my office. It has DVI and VGA in, and has a native/reccomended resolution of 1366 x 768. So I have two questions...

1.) What cards support this resolution natively. If no cards do, if I would do a custom resolution through an Nvidia driver for example, does that look like shit?

2.) Also, does anyone know what would happen if you use a normal resolution such as 1024x768?

Thanks

If you hook up your TV via DVI you will be limited to 1280x1024 by CURRENT nVIDIA driversand unless your plasma TV has support for 1368x768 in the EDID information of the monitor. Sometime in the near future nVIDIA should be releasing drivers that get around this limitation, but they have yet to be released.

This does not affect analog connections at all (VGA).
 
Thanks Gene, 1280x1024 only, or maximum when on DVI? Anyone else know if a custom resolution via VGA would look fine, or if it is a true resolution, or is somehow smashed or emulated?

thx,

1280x1024 will be your maximum resolution via DVI unless the EDID information of your plasma TV says otherwise. Via analog (VGA) you don't have this limitation because the nVIDIA drivers don't use the EDID information as the framework for generating resolutions.

1368x768 is a real resolution, but your TV is probably 1366x768 (true 16:9). I used to be able to run 1368x768 on my old Radeon 8500 and my TV, however when I upgraded to a GeForce 6800GT I was suprised to learn that the current ForceWare drivers FORCE the limits of what the EDID information says it can display. You can merrily choose any resolution you want, but you might be stuck in a windowed virtual desktop.
