RE: PC DVI to Panasonic TC-P46C2 plasma TV HDMI?

It should work. I didn't have any issues hooking an 8500GT to a Sony 720p CRT using a Philips (?) DVI to HDMI cable (I was in too much of a hurry to wait for a Monoprice cable). Apart from the lack of HDCP support in the video card, but AnyDVD fixed that.

Things occasionally go wrong the other way, like from an HDMI source to a DVI monitor. The WD TV Live won't go above 480p when plugged into a DVI monitor. Clever people have found a way to patch the firmware so it'll do a more reasonable 720p, which means my dreams of enjoying high-definition content while camping in my panel truck are not hopeless.
