I am looking to purchase a direct view HDTV ready TV to connect to my Radeon AIW 7500 HTPC.


At this point, I am leaning towards the Samsung 4:3 HDTV models, which support component input at 480p and 1080i.


What are my options to connect the Radeon to this set? Will the card drive a 1080i display? Were would I get a DVI (or VGA) to component converter? Would I need Powerstrip?


I'm new to the HDTV area, so any help is much appreciated!


Setup:


ABIT NV7-133R (nForce chipset)

Athlon XP 1700+ Palomino

512 MB RAM

ATI AIW Radeon 7500 (built-by)


Thanks!


Kevin

Kevin, do a search on google for Audio Authority. You should be able to find their VGA->Component converter for ~110 bucks. Not sure if you need powerstrip but they have a shareware version for you to try out.
