What it is, though, I don't know. Did you check the AVS Forums? The TV’s native resolution is higher than that, so the problem lies elsewhere. What it is, though, I don’t know.

( ATI Radone 9200 SE ) I have the KDSR60XBR1

I used DVI-HDMI cable to connect my pc but the problem is I can’t use more than 800X600 resolutions

is this the maximum the TV can do ? or the problem in my graphics card ? ( ATI Radone 9200 SE )

It takes 1080i signals and line-doubles them (uninterlaces them) to 1080p, then displays the 1080p signal. (It also takes other resolutions like 720p, 480i, and 480p and uninterlaces them if necessary and scales them up to 1080p.) The problem with this (and most other) 1080p set is that it can't actually accept a 1080p signal on any of its inputs. This is bad because a 1080p signal is better than a 1080i signal, but your TV can't accept it. However! This isn't a problem right now because there are currently no sources that put out a 1080p signal. But they're coming. What this really means is that you can't get the most out of what the display hardware can do. But you still have a very good set that'll give you a great picture. This is a 1920 x 1080 display.

But I still don't really understand the whole 1920x1080 resolution but won't accept a 1080p signal. Please explain this and tell me how it is a big bad thing or how it won't really matter.

It uses the same SXRD technology as the Qualia 004, but uses the 0.61″ type SXRD panels. Three of them. Their previous SXRD panels were 0.78″ parts. The 0.61″ panels will also be used in the upcoming SXRD RPTVs. The projector’s resolution, like the Qualia, is a nice full HD one at 1920 x 1080. And the contrast ratio? Glad you asked. It’s supposed to be 15,000:1. Another article claims that the 0.61″ chip gives a contrast ratio of 5,000:1. I tend to believe the latter number. The projector features both DVI and HDMI inputs and will retail for 1,365,000 Yen come December. [...] […] Sony calls it the Sony VPL-VW100 HD SXRD Projector.

It can do everything DVI can do. You can buy DVI-HDMI and HDMI-DVI converters. It IS more handy for AV, because it can include a digital audio component, but that doesn't mean it can't also be used for computers. HDMI is a souped-up DVI. It can do everything DVI can do.

DVI is the digital standard for computer displays. With a DVI connector, you could use this display as a monitor, and your computer would correctly detect the resolution and colour settings of the device. HDMI is more for audio-video equipment, isn't it? Using a fuzzy VGA connection from a computer instead of DVI would just be wrong, in my opinion. :) Hm, I disagree.

The sets also have other analog inputs, a VGA input is one more way to get the set connected, and the set already has two HDMI inputs, so there's no need for a DVI. Not so ridiculous.
