Your 5200 may or may not be able to (I too have read conflicting
statements here), but my pcx5300 (a 5200 in PCI Express form) could
not handle 1080p, just 1080i. My 6200TC does do 1080p, so that's what
I'm using. Search 'yeechang "my experience with"' at a list archive
near you for more details.

I'm thinking hard about selling my 6 months-old, gently-used LVM-37W1
and putting the money toward the just-out LVM-47W1. $2500 and no
shipping or sales tax (in 49 states) through Crutchfield or J&R!!!
