    Then it won't let you set 1920 x 1080 as a resolution from your PC. Ever. Surely?

    It would, as an interlaced image rather than a progressive one. I did with an old TV and it flickered and looked somewhat crap lol

    But in theory if the res was set to 720p it would output perfectly, pixel for pixel?

    I'm not good on TVs with PCs, I still use a massive 36" Panasonic CRT :D

    If set to 720p then no as most TVs are 1366x768, anything other requires scaling. Then there's also the issue of how the TV displays it. I have a 1080p TV but I need to set my res to 18xx x 9xx for it to display full screen without disappearing off the screen.

    This isn't one of those Dual link problems is it?

    Can you get Dual Link DVI to HDMI cables?

    Shouldn't be, single link is enough for 1080p.

    True but there's a reason it recommends 720p ;) When set to 1920 x 1080 it's gonna be interlaced so only drawing half the screen at any one time.

    I had issues with my HD4850 and my Panasonic TV - HDMI seemed fuzzy, DVI was crystal clear.

    My HD5830 doesn't have any issues with the TV - both HDMI and DVI are fine.

    I have noticed that quite alot of TV's only support upto 1366 x 768 over VGA, even if they are 1080P certified.

    Could need some overscan setting up. There's a section in Catalyst Controll Centre about HDTVs and overscan/underscan. Give that a shot.

    Fyi the blurry may be due to how Samsung TVs handle input. I had the same blurry image on mine until I realised I had to tell the TV the input was PC.

    I had to edit the name of the HDMI connection to PC, this turns off the TVs pixel processing engine. It forces 1:1 pixel mapp
    ing which for a PC is exactly what you need
