We just installed a custom built (by us) HTPC driving a 1040HD plasma with the Gyration keyboard/air mouse. It depends on your display more than anything I would guess however. We installed a 2nd PCI (w/vga) card and are driving a 23" LG EDTV also on the same virtual desktop. Works alot like Apple only not as clean. This dude has a lot of options (there is a third screen also). Originally we tried to run the PC through the Key Digital 8 X 3 component video matrix but resolution switching would crash the Winblows everytime. The picture quality of the Winblows desktop (on both the plasma and the LCD) is awesome to answer your question. (actually XP ain't that bad).
