I have a sony wega 42" lcd projection that I wanted to use my computer with. It takes an HDMI input so I figured that I would just need a video card with a digital output.
I tried this card- http://sewelldirect.com/radeon-9200-ati-video-card.asp so I could use my existing LCD monitor with my hdtv (to extend the desktop). Initially I couldn't get the wega to work - finally I downloaded the latest ATI Catalyst drivers and set the refresh rate on the wega to 30 Hz and it's been working great ever since. The ATI drivers have HDTV settings so I have it set to their default 1080i.
This has been a godsend for using movielink and cinemanow - I just need to find some more ways to get HD content into my PC!
