I have a videocard capable of the proper output (Radeon 1950 pro) and a lcd panel (Samsung 4671f)
I plug the tv to the computer via a DVI->9 pin connector.. and I see the picture.. I am able to set the resolution to a proper 1920x1080 .. and the output is centered on the screen like i was outputting a 4:3 source insead of a real 16:9 .. changing the resolution to 1600 by something gives me the full with of the screen, but unproportioned...
my tv is set to 16:9, and 1920x1080 should be 1:1 for each pixel on the tv ... anybody run into something like this ?

it seems that a odd combo of tv power up and computer plugs were the cause... things work peachy now.

A DVI-D port, however, doesn't have the backwards-compatible analog pins (and is cheaper to implement because then the TV doesn't need an analog-digital converter for that port) but then can't do anything with a signal coming from a VGA-DVI adapter. It will only be able to accept a digital signal from a computer with a DVI output.

I guess the next step would be to get a dvi/hdmi adaptor... but I can get most things working... its just when the res goes weird.. (like the sign in screen of eve-online) i guess the vert / horz sync is off ?

I think you're off by about 98.999%.
HDMI uses the same protocol as DVI. The only relevant differences are:
A lot of people use DVI to HDMI cables for home theatre PCs. I have this very setup myself, and I've set up the TV in the conference room at work the same way.

Exactly. The problem at this point is that certian screens are sent at an odd resolution, or wants to set an inproper sync value that monitors will accept, but not tv's.
The only one I have found is the login screen for Eve-online. I get the splash screen, but the part where I enter my password makes the tv throw a 'not supported' error. I can close eve-online and get back to a working desktop though.

The 99.999% was a shocking exaggeration, but it seems that I'm pretty wrong anyway. I have tried my shuttle on 2 32" Samsungs & a 42" JVC and the hdmi rejected input every time(No Signal on the Samsungs, blue screen on the JVC, card is 7900GS 512mb). After a quick google though, you're obviously right as there seem to be a lot of people happy with the quality from their dvi->>hdmi converter cables.
