You still don't get it, and for that I have no clue. Just because it's all
the same to you and your company doesn't mean that its the same for all
companies. It's programming, not the chip.
But you knew that, right?

No, all devices don't pixel map. Simple use of some compression
strategies suggests that all devices don't pixel map, much less whether
one uses component or DVI/HDCP inputs. Mapping the total resolution of
the screen and mapping individual pixels are two different things. I'd
suggest you go back to last year's Mix mags and read the series Stephen
wrote before he passed away. That was one smart fellow and he did over a
year's worth of research for this project.
I am on my third year as lead software developer for a number of very high
end LCD display systems and scalers. This is what I do. I don't need to
read Mix magazine to get any information on the technology that I make a
living doing. Thanks anyway.
I can tell you that it would be beneficial for you to read them again.. or
even better read some of the tech specs on the current crop of scaler ICs
which are used by all of the LCD / Plasma manufacturers on the planet.
hmmm. start with the AL310 from Averlogic.. and go from there..

I think 1368 x 768 is high enough for a DAW, I run mine on a
widescreen LCD at 1440 x 900, but I used to have a regular LCD running
at 1280 x 960. Just a few years ago, everyone was running ProTools at
1024 x 768. The real thing to consider with a plasma is refresh rate
(eye strain) and interlacing (flicker sucks). Also, make sure that the
native resolution is available on whatever video card you plan on
getting and always use an all digital (DVI) connection, NOT the VGA
d-sub type analog connections.
First, we are talking LCDs, not Plasma, but you knew that, so I don't
understand the plasma reference.
The real situation is whether a complete video/computer system has the
ability to pixel map,
snip really long ...
whew.. Roger.. I am starting to think you could be the global warming
cause that Gore is seeking.. 
ALL devices 'pixel map'. And the most loyal reproductions will be
displayed when the scaling is 1:1 between the incoming image and the
LCD.
The problem in scaling computer images is the small thin data , like
small fonts and other data that gets mulched in scaling algorithms. The
better the scaler the better the image.
