Don't assume that your card can output a component or DVI stream your set
can use. Contact the card vender first to confirm that it will work.

The way I understand DVI is that the display communicates with the video
source and the source then delivers what the display wants. And the display
should want what it displays best, which is native resolution for digital
display devices, in other words, top resolution of the device.
If you connect a LCD monitor to a computer out via DVI, you will not be able
to select anything, it's automatically timed perfect for the monitor. I
expect a LCD TV to be no different. I have a Radeon 9600, it's no big deal
to set it up for 720p. It won't do 1080i, but it will do 1080p. Anyway, DVI
on a LCD, DLP or other digital display device is meant to "drive" the panel
directly, without any need for the display to scale anything.
The only concern I have is that this would actually make sense, so it may
not be true :-)
