    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.

    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...
