1280x720p@60 over DVI will need to be scaled to fit the screen.

I am aware of these issues, I have a laptop. It surprises me, however, that a plasma cannot do these HDTV resolutions natively. All that money to get 720p films and it's still scaled?

Just use VGA 007 you muppet.

I agree Stu, hopefully we will start to see 1280x720 panels so it can do HD at native rate, or 1920x1080 would be nice

Panasonic have said that it will be the 8 series for hdcp support at 50Hz, but there is already a device that takes the dvi input and outputs rgb/h/v and it is very good from what I have heard, very difficult to tell the difference between the dvi and rgb. However because it strips out the hdcp it is not totally legal so it may not be on the market for too long.

That going to be alright for a wireless router / modem for the mac and live?

[gIzzE]

If you already have an adsl modem/router, I have a wireless access point here that I am not using, you can borrow that.
Or I will swap it with you for something, it is a linksys one, sitting here all boxed up.

[007]

How about, I give you your DVD back for it.

What does that access point do? How does that come into it?

[gIzzE]

The link you posted is an access point, you can plug devices, including pcs, ps2, xbox, cable modems, adsl modems etc. into it and then share them either wired or via the wireless connection.

You can also buy an adsl modem with a wireless accesss already built in.

But if you have your modem already you can plug the cable from that into the wireless access point rather than into your pc, that way you send your internet connection wirelessly round the house.
What modem have you got?

[007]

No idea dude, i'll find out. It's a speedtouch something, router with modem built in. So, all I need then, is an access point, plug everything into the access point, and then plug that into the router?

[gIzzE]

Don't buy anything yet, if you have a speedtouch 510 then i can give you the bit that makes it wireless.
That is all you need.

[007]

Safe as chips. Is that the linksys thingy?

[gIzzE]

Yeah.

[007]

Safe.
