Alright, I finally picked up a Samsung 32" 720p HDTV. I'm pretty happy with it. On the Mac side, the dual display works perfectly. I like being able to mirror it or have the TV used as an extension of the desktop. Unfortunately, the same can't be said on the Windows XP side of things. I'm having some issues with the HDTV not working at all. When I restart and the XP loading screen is up, the HDTV is mirroring with no issues but as soon as it gets to the login screen, the tv is back to a black screen and is gettign no signal. In the settings, I made sure to check the "extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" and I have tried different resolutions (1280x720 and below) but it doesn't seem to work.

Also, in my list of monitors in my hardware manager, I have a lot of random monitors and such (attached image). Kinda weird. Any suggestions would be awesome.
