I've read the Plasma FAQ, and also read this, but some things are still not clear for me. I'm only reffering to HD only TVs, not Full HD:
What i've learned:
For a 42" HD only Plasma, pixels are rectangular and the native resolution is 1024x768, but tv internal processors upscale the signal to 1280x720. True, yes?
Questions:
1. Are the pixels in a 42" HD Plasma bigger than in a 42" HD LCD?
My logic says yes, because the pixels in Plasma are rectangular, and the pixels in LCD are squared. And since the number of vertical pixels are the same in both Plasma and LCD TVs (768), the only difference must be the bigger size of rectangular pixels in Plasma, occupying the same horizontal space as the smaller, squared pixels in a HD LCD TV of the same diagonal. Right?
2. If i connect a PC desktop to a 42" HD Plasma TV, is it possible to get 1:1 pixel mapping, like on a 42" HD LCD TV? What resolution should i set in nvidia drivers? 1024x768? Or 1280x720?
