What 26" flat pannel TV could be used as a monitor with a DVI output of a computer?

Hello!
What Panasonic, Toshiba, Samsung, Sharp or any other 26" flat pannel TV
could be used as a monitor with a DVI output of a computer with the
same resolution as the native resolution of the TV matrix? Should the
computer resolution be the same as the native resolution of the TV
matrix for a small text being shown clear?
All 26" flat pannel TV manuals with I read indicate that TV's DVI or
HDMI input cannot be used with a computer and a computer video
resolution could not be the same as the native resolution of the TV
matrix, therefore a scaling is required. The scaling makes small text
unclear.

Dima

I'd think you'd want to keep it the same if you want to use the full
screen.

There are lots of HDTV's with a 15pin VGA input for computers. Maybe you
should get one like that. Although I see no reason you can't use all of
the Tv's display resolution using DVI.

It seems to depend upon the set. I have a Vizio 42" LCD that won't do
native resolution thru the HDMI connector, but will thru the VGA connector
provided you can persuade your video card to do 1366x768. I also have a
Mitsubishi HD1000U projector that has no trouble doing native (1280x720) via
a DVI to HDMI adapter. I'm using MythTV and nVidia cards and am having no
troubles get 1:1 pixel mapping.

I am using the Olevia Syntax. I have an adapter cable to convert the
HDMI to DVI for the cable TV signal and the VGA input for the computer.

http://www.amazon.com/Syntax-Olevia-.../dp/B0007R8YGI


But I have to plug the cable box audio output to the computer audio
input on the TV to hear the TV in the pip window while typing now on the
main screen showing the computer. 1280 x 768 resolution on both works
best. Then you have to change to a bigger FONT.

What I'd really like to see some day is typing in on the computer screen
hovering over the background TV screen. Maybe with Vista. Or using the
black are below the TV screen for computer lines.

Thanks Wes Newell for replying!
The d-sub output of my video card is already used by my computer
monitor. The DVI output is left free. I want to use it for the TV.

A maximum HDMI resolution is usualy 1080i, not 1366*768.

Hello!
d-sub computer output is used by my main computer monitor.
Any resolution different from TV matrix resolution would be shown with
scaling, which makes small fonts fuzzy.
Manuals indicate that maximum resolution for HDMI/DVI is 1080/50i, not
1366*768.

What software should I use to "persuade my video card to do 1366x768"?

If you make the screen resolution higher the letters look too small. So
you have to change to a bigger font size to compensation. And maybe
large icons.

It upscales into HD.
