Im in the market for a new tv and was wondering if i connect the tv to my vid card via HDMI input will everything work ok? ie: play crysis, watch hd movies and other stuff? Thanks for reading.

Yes. What matters is the resolution, not the screen size. Just remember that even with 1080p @ 50", you'll still need to sit back a ways - it won't be as crisp as a 24" @ 1080p at the same distance.

Yes it will work just fine.

I do believe you might have to work with your color profile so all things look right as I have heard that sometimes cards don't display as good of color picture on Plasma's as they do on LCD's or CRT's without some tweaking.

But either way, it'll hook up just fine.

Awesome, thanks to the pros.

if you play games on a plasma you will damage it, the HUD will burn in the screen forevor

False info is false.

People STILL believe this? Come on. Burn-in risk in plasma screens is minuscule, much less than CRTs.

I've damaged 3 plasma screens witch games, i saw the hud in the screen it never went away

It should work fine. I actually use a 60" DLP thru an Onkyo SR606. This is hooked up via HDMI to my laptop. I play Bluray with Power DVD 9 and the Ole lady streams video, music, and plays games all night long. LOL. Well, almost.

The burn in is really only a problem on older plasma panels, newer plasma panels are pretty good with avoiding that. And if you do somehow manage to burn it in, just do a white wash and it'll probably get rid of it. My 50" Panasonic plasma is 4 years old and it has never burnt in and I've fallen asleep with my care just sitting on the road in a game and when I woke up 6 hours later it still was fine and this has happened many times, and no visible burn in. Without pixel rotation though, that might be why you're seeing burn in

LCD is generally the smarter choice for computers / gaming though.

But yeah, the cards will be able to run it easily, 1080p means it's 1920x1080 as the resolution, the screen size doesn't really matter when you get into TV's since it's not the size that determines how many pixels, it's just the bigger the tv, the bigger the pixels are.
