Doesn't make any sense

I've read on several different sites about how LCDs are better for connections to PCs versus a Plasma display. Some give more details such as the way images are displayed. But none of them really make any sense.

If you have a DVI connector and send your Plasma a DVI or HDMI signal (some video cards have HDMI, sometimes you need an adapter, but the signal/format is essentially the same), I don't see the difference in transmitting 1920x1080 pixels from my video card versus transmitting those same pixels from a BluRay player.

This guy also mentions no real specific about the incompatibility. Did he simply have a video card that couldn't do 1920x1080 or did he feel he needed one with HDMI out built into it?

Not a very helpful post at all.

unknowledgeable !

I totally agree with the first comment.

The guy has obviously purchased a Plasma screen without a VGA input ! and then tried to plug a PC into it. Hello ....

When searching google for an answer to LCD or Plasma for use with a PC, you come across unknowledgeable articles like this which are garbage and totally waste your time. As I'm doing now by writing this comment about a useless blog written by an obvious idiot.

Another problem is the technology is being updated so fast that 99% of most information is out of date and also useless.

even blogs written 6 months ago are of no use, because they contain no information about the latest innovations.

Ah well keep searching I suppose. I may get lucky and bump into an article that is of some use.

you what?

how can you write an article saying that lcd is better than plasma on the basis that you had trouble setting up a plasma tv on an incompatible setup and that you heard from somewhere that lcds might be easier.

clearly you know very little on this subject and are just misleading anyone who reads this article.
