I finally saw the Hitachi 50V500 at CC yesterday afternoon and was simply stunned by the PQ, especially compared to the Panny and Sammy... if price were no object, the Sammy would be a no-brainer for me, but since I have a budget to keep, the Hitachi perfectly fit the bill....
EXCEPT....I heard that the DVI connector does NOT accept input from a PC with a DVI-equipped videocard.
Can anyone confirm that PC users will not be able to connect to the Hitachi using the DVI connector?
I have to be able to connect my PC to my new RPTV for gaming, etc and don't want to have to pay over $1K more for a tube that can handle it (or settle for a lower-quality picture from the Panny). This is a MAJOR disappointment and downfall of this TV as it was a lock for me.
Finally, can the PQ using a VGA input even begin to compare to DVI?
