In the past, I have had significant problems in achieving native resolution on my NEC50MP2. I also own the Faroudja 1366 x 768 NRS for plasma display. Despite the RGB connection, I always have 1024 x 768 resolution, as if the display sees 768 and decides on this resolution. I found out from the Faroudja technical support person, Michael Pearce, that if the NEC50MP2 RGB select is chosen as "Wide 1" rather than "Ato" you can achieve almost native resolution (1360 x 768). I am missing a few pixels, but I am extremely happy because the picture, especially on standard dishnetwork signal, significantly improves and reveals much clarity even on CNN and local channel broadcasts (non-HD). I am sending this out so that NEC50MP2 owners out there can try this simple trick to improve screen resolution and picture quality.
BTW, I have also tried the Pixel Perfect card on my PC, running Windows 2000 and using the DVI output from the video card to the DVI input of the NEC50MP2. I was also able to achieve native resolution (1366x 768) when I play a DVD on my PC. However, the NRS is better because it allows me to improve regular TV on satellite.
