I've just hooked up my HTPC to my Plasma but seem to be having some problems getting it to work.

So far I have two issues:

1. Set the res to 1024X768 (native plasma res) but everything looks stretched as you'd expect. Is there an option to keep the native res but get things looks as they should?

2. Vista Media Centre wont see the plasma. When I try to configure it in the setting up TV section it wont see the HDMI plasma connection. So I can't get Media Centre on the Plasma.

All in all I'm very pleased with the quality. 350MB DivX's on the Plasma are very watchable if a little washed out, especially the blacks. However a 1.35GB DivX film looked really good.

Shame they don't handle PC display too well but I'm not too fussed as its for TV and Films mainly :)
 
Yeah I read about the rectangular pixels.

I can run it at 1280X720 but the PC display isnt as sharp. Not a big problem as I'm not really surfing on it :)
