Hello everyone. I am installing a Vizio 46" flat panel LCD behind the counter at my business to use as a menu/advertising board. I am going to put together a flash presentation to display on it.
I plan on using an old AMD 2800+ dedicated to running it but need help with a video card. I have no idea what to shop for when looking to have the best picture on this display.
I do not want overkill as this will never be used to do anything but display this menu system.
What features should I look for on a card? Any specific card recommendations are appreciated.
The specs on the TV are:

1366 x 768, 1280 x 720, 1024 x 768, 854 x 480, 800 x 600
