Last week, I built a basic HTPC and this week I got my Fujitsu 50". (PDS5004) After spending a few days making a stand and mounting it, I sat down with it yesterday, loaded Powerstrip 3.29, and got ready for what I thought would be a futile, frustrating effort.
After maybe an hour, I had it working through DVI at 1368*768 at 60 Hz V / 48 Hz H. I don't know if it would have worked at the actual width of 1366, because it's not a multiple of 8 and my Radeon 9000 doesn't support that. So technically, it's not true native rate, but for all practical purposes, one pixel missing on each side doesn't make a difference.
At first, it was about 20 pixels off vertically and horizontally, but after moving the picture around, I framed it beautifully. It sometimes behaves strangely - every now and then, when I boot the PC, the picture will appear the right resolution, but the left and right parts will simply be black, making a 4:3 picture. Switching to a video input and back will solve this.
The picture is, of course, stunning. And it's definitely mapped pixel-by-pixel. So.... why have I succeeded where so many have failed? It can't be because of the two missing pixel columns, right? That's a non-issue. The supposed lack of NR support almost kept me from buying this superb display, and I don't want the same to happen to others.
