Anyway, are there any programs to download to my PC that will let me hook up my gfx card to my TV via a DVI cable and see if HD runs fine on my TV?

Why dont you use windows media player and play some WMV9 HD video? That should look sweet.
Where can I get HD video?
Just my TV is 18 months old and was never sold as HD ready and doesn't have anything saying it supports High Definition, but my mate came over with his 360, whacked up all settings to HD to 1080i or whatever it is and it ran fine. I am still dubious so wanted to test it myself.

Have fun, try not to dribble to much
Srry, just read your post properly. look up the model number on google and see...
Quality, u legend!
Will it matter whether I use DVI or analog to hook it up? Thanks man.
Normal analog will just output SD AFAIK. So best to use the DVI. Simpler to google the model number really though
this is a confusion surrounding HDTV.Originally Posted by FatalSaviour

as it stands, there is nothing *in use* to prevent you from using analog connectors (such as VGA or Component) to watch HD media.
what you're thinking of is the "image constraint token", which is a feature of blu-ray and hd-dvd, whereby a given disk can enfore the presence of HDCP copy protection, and downgrade the image to 540p (960x540) if it is missing. note that this means even DVI will downgrade the image, on protected titles, if you don't have HDCP protection all the way along the chain
and almost nobody has a card with full HDCP support
fortunately, there seems to be some unspoken pact by the movie studios not to implement the token for a while, as it would alienate a LOT of americans with non-HDCP HDTV's
I stand corrected
