The FX-5200 is also a good card for HD playback. I also have a Samsung DLP
and I have used the FX-5200 and ATI 9600. Both work just fine with that TV,
although I do prefer using the PC Input instead of the DVI input, since I get
better control over the picture size. Both PC and DVI quality look identical.

I also have the LC11M case, inside is an Asus P4P800-VM.
