I recently bought an LG 47" 47LBX LCD HDTV (absolutely stunning) and want to
hook it up with a Radeon X1950XT graphic card in my PC. The ATI control
panel offers several options for HDTV (e.g., 1080p). Do they matter? Can I
just treat my LG LCD TV as an LCD PC monitor?

The quick answer is maybe. Some hook up to a PC and work fine, others
require that you do some tweaking. Only way to find out for sure is
to try it.

It has an RGB input. When I hooked it up to my PC via RGB, it was recognized
as an LG TV .

I confugured the rez for my monitor (1920x1200) and the TV (1920x1080) in
CCC. However, the rez doesn't automatically change when I switch between the
two. Maybe, I'll try a DVI-to-HDMI cable.
