Default 47PFL7422D/37 as PC monitor issues

I was just posting this so that anyone interested on the web in this TV and also using it as a PC monitor.

Currently, after some testing and research, this TV seems to be incompatible with XFX 8600 series of graphics cards. I'm not sure if this is limited to just XFX or if all Nvidia 8600s have this issue. I know for a fact that at least the 8600GT and GTS both have this issue. What happens is no matter what resolution/refresh rate you use PC input will flicker on and off leaving a message of "Unsupported Format" This desktop will usually stay up just fine, but as soon as you play something with moving graphics *movies, flash based website* the picture will cut out to black and leave the message. This happens with old and new nvidia drivers. This also manifest itself with the latest firmware for the TV *at the time of this writing Q531U-0.64.14.11*

Another thing to note is that this TV seems to have an issue with recognizing SanDisk Cruzer Micro USB sticks. Some tell me its the software installed on the drive, i tried removing this software and it still wont read it. I had to go buy a PNY brand stick to update my firmware.

You can the XFX 8800 GT to this list now
