Walking in to Best Buy and trying to explain anything results in a blank stare of confusion!

LOL. Exactly!

What happens if the TV is without H/V sync? My Beosystem 1 is plugged into a Panasonic TH46 PZ800 via PC input, and the screen seem to jump up and down even though the picture is very clear (so all it does is have small vertical jumps) and I wonder if it's because of a missing H/V sync?

I'm still searching for a screen. Has anyone had success with recent t.v. models being compatible with the BeoSystem 1?

I have a BS1 connected to one of the new 2009 Samsung series 7 LEDs.  However, I only use the PC out of the BS1 to connect to the Samsung for menu navigation and setup purposes, for which it works just fine.  I use the BS1 for audio switching purposes to give surround sound.  I also have my BC9500 connected to it through a Beolink Converter.

So, basically I have the optical out from my PS3 connected to the DVD optical in on the BS1, and then I have the optical out from the TV connected to the BS1 on a different input for the other sources connected to the TV (my Wii, the cable broadcase, etc).

I really think using the PC out of the BS1 which is 1080i at best will be a degredation in quality, and I didn't want to fiddle around with the PC settings on the TV just for this when I don't really need it.  

I fully recommend the Samsungs....I can watch even regular definition DVDs on the PS3 and the picture looks almost freakishly realisitic compared to my Sharp Aquos 1080p set.

What did you have in mind with your BS1?

I was actually considering the Samsungs. As I understand, either screen control code 467 or 468 on the BS1 will control the on/off of the Samsung screen. Is that correct? So the current Samsungs can accept the 1080i resolution via PC input with the horizonal/vertical hold? I know that some screens (such as Sony's) have a PC input, but the input will not accept 1080i resolution. I'm actually okay with 1080i instead of 1080p. I'd rather have the menu overlay of the BS1 than have the 1080p resolution.

BTW, I have a BeoSystem 3 connecte to a projector in my main room and an Avant as the bedroom tv. The BeoSystem 1 is currently being unused. I would like to use it in my home gym. Therefore, 1080p isn't as important for me. I'm okay with 1080i and even a screen 40" or smaller.

Can't speak to models that have the ability to control the screen's power, but pretty much any television screen with a VGA will do the job. We're doing a setup right now with a bunch of 12" monitors attached to BeoSystem 1s and it works fine.

I will see if I can get some time to plug in a Y/B/R source to the BS1 and play around with this.
