I have a 50 in. Hitachi ultravision tv that is about 11 years old. It will turn on and within a few minutes the picture will go black but the sound will stay on. If you turn it off for a few minutes then back on it will do the same thing again and sometimes the picture will remain on indefinately. Can you help? Can it be fixed ? What should we have replaced?

I connected my Hitachi 51F500 51" rear projection TV (1080i) to my HTPC through a straight DVI and ran into a problem with resolution. BluRays and DVDs look perfect, but windows looks horrible. I can't read any text and can barely decipher the icons on my desktop. I've spent hours altering the display settings with nvidia controller and can't resolve this problem. nvidia controller recognizes the tv (even shows the model information) and has specific settings for the tv but still completely blurry on any setting. I've read some info on 1:1 ratios and I think that may be the problem. Does anyone know if this tv can be set to the 1:1 pixel? If not, will powerstrip software resolve this? PC specs are: EVGA nForce 730a mobo w/nvidia HDCP chipset; AMD Phenom Quad Agena; 4GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2; Plextor BluRay/DVD/CD; 1.5 TB storage. running XP sp3 until MS offers multiple license of W7. Thanks to any help in advance!
