DVI-I to HDMI Result: - Use DVI-D to HDMI Cable

The High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is backwards compatible with all digital DVI interfaces so for this situation you will need a DVI-D to HDMI Cable to connect these two devices.  Be aware, however, that DVI does not carry the Audio signals that HDMI would between HDMI devices so you will need to find another way to send the audio signals depending on the types of audio interfaces your devices are using.  We will not get into that here.  If you need help with connecting the audio, or the video, please click on the Live Chat on the bottom left of the page.  These are the cables you may need and some adapters you may find useful for your application.

iSuppli: LCD 40-42 Inch Model Prices to Fall   7/30/2005 11:24:53 AM

Market research firm iSuppli says that because of a glut in LCD inventory worldwide, the average price of LCD panels for manufacturers dropped $1,000 this month to $1,125. This roughly translates to consumer LCD TVs having a price as low as $2,500 during Q4--just in time for the holiday buying season.

Since Sony announced that it was leaving behind plasma TV development earlier this year and opened up a new joint venture with Samsung to produce more 40 to 42 inch LCD panels, the price has decreased with supply.

Global LCD TV sales are up 87 percent from 2004 and expected to hit 18.8 million units by the end of 2005.
Panasonic TH-42PD25 Plasma HDTV   2/21/2005 1:34:45 PM

The people over at HomeTheaterMag.com have put up a review of the TH-42PD25 plasma TV from Panasonic. The TH-42PD25 is an HDTV plasma TV that won out over the others in the review for its black level and gray scale accuracy.

Using a Video Essentials test patterns DVD, the testing revealed that the TH-42PD25 had an issue with bright scenes--the brightest image would be crushed white. For example, a cloud in the sky would have no detail other than a white blob. Reducing the contrast ratio didn't help either--the picture merely became darker while the detail on whites didn't improve.
