Are you sure that the Zenith supports all the HDTV resolutions natively (i.e. doesn't have to shrink the pixels to get it fit)? Find out the native resolutions supported of the screen and make sure it supports 1920x1080 interlaced which is the max resolution in HDTV (and HD-DVD & Blu-Ray) specs. This means that if you change your PC's desktop resolution to 1920x1080 (various tweaker tools allow you to do this) and output it via DVI to the TV, if the TV supports that resolution, the PC picture should work.
how do i begin to determine if "the native resolutions supported of the screen and make sure it supports 1920x1080 interlaced" is included..?here areVIDEO ENHANCEMENTS Screen Size 40" Resolution Display 480p/1080i Mirror 1st Surface Lens System Enhanced HD Lens Elements 4-Element Fine Pitch Screen Yes (0.52mm) Tuning System NTSC Aspect Ratio 16:9 Aspect Ratio Correction Yes Scan Velocity Modulation Yes (3 Modes) HD Digital Auto Convergence Enhanced Convergence Enhanced Line Doubler Yes All Format Up Converter Yes Dynamic Focus Yes 3:2 Pulldown Cinema Correction Yes Color Temperature Warm/Cool Gamma Correction Yes Digital Comb Filter 3-Line Black Level Exp./White Level Compression Yes Video Noise Reduction Yes Home Theater Mode Yes (4 Modes: User, Clear, Optimum, Soft) the video specs included with the advertisement..
personally, I am not all that fond of Zeinth Products, but if it has dvi in, and acording to the specs you have provided, you should be set...
