C. Most plasma television video monitors will display computer
video...but poorly. Poorly because they are carefully designed to
display interlaced video signals per television video standards (480 or
576 horizontal scan lines per image). Not progressive-scanned computer
video. Some plasma televison video monitors can display computer video
signals, but again, at television resolution, not computer resolution.
As a test, put your eyes about 10 cm (~4 inches) from your favorite
computer screen and note how the elements of the picture look. Now
visit an appliance store and put your eyes about the same distance from
a plasma TV display. See the difference? Repeat at greater distances.
Now try all the above with any other kind of big-screen TV (LCD, DLP,
projection, big CRT). See the difference? If not...as usual...buy the
cheapest technology...put a video card in your computer with TV
output...and enjoy fuzzy....



Plasma TVs generally do a darn good job at displaying computer video, so
long as you use their native resolution. Generally this is 720P, which
is 1280x720 progressive scan. While native interlaced plasmas may exist,
the vast majority of them (all that I've ever seen) are high definition
widescreen.


Mr. Sweet, weren't plasma displays used in laptop computers some time ago?
