    Using a PC connection to Plasma TV, is it HDTV?

    Ok great. So what would the difference be with using a Progressive Scan DVD player compared to the PC displaying the signal, besides the DVI output? So would the DVD quality be 480i only signal or is there a way to adjust the pc to display in 480p if I use the PC? I'm not sure of the DVD...

    Anyone used new Digital Video Essentials for plasma?

    Well given that Avia is pretty much outdated now, would you say the DVE surpasses it b/c now it includes calibration for plasma and HDTV as well? Or is this just a marketing stunt and it works just the same?

    Anyone used new Digital Video Essentials for plasma?
