In reality, you wouldn't want to use the HDMI connection to connect a
PC. The best results on my 50" samsung is via the VGA connector. That
way I get full 1360x768@30hz progressive whereas 720p or 1080i is in
actually a lesser resolution.

Give it a try on the HDMI input. It just work out. On the other hand if
you have a 1080p screen, buy good card with a HDMI output capable of 1080p.
