I have found something that seems to be working for me quite well, not sure if it will solve the power management issues though. I have a DVI to HDMI cable plugged into the 4850 adn the HDMI/DVI2 port on my Samsung LN**A650 series TV. I also installed the new CCC 9.10 (I believe). With this set up I can use the full aspect ratio settings at 1080 even. The image quality is much better than before when I was using the component cables or even the DVI to VGA cables. So far I haven't had any problems with the TV not coming out of sleep mode. I tend not to put my computer in sleep mode, but the other day while watching a movie it was idle long enough that it did so, I just moved my mouse a bit and a second later the TV was displaying the Computer screen again. Hope this works for you all!
Cheers

I will try this. Thanks. Can you confirm that you are using a generic DVI - HDMI cable ie, a one with a DVI/D connector rather than a DVI/I connector,and that you are not using the ATI DVI/HDMI converter that came with the card.
Hi,
As suggested,I downloaded and installed 9.10 version of CCC. Using the HDMI2/DVI input on the Samsung LN32A650, I got better video quality via HDMI. Mode not supported on the VGA input as indicated by others.
However, in comparison, VGA is still better:
Less color bleed through and less sharpness. Although if you did not compare the 2 the HDMI is acceptable if you do not do a lot of text work with small fonts.
Still looking for a solution on how to achieve good quality HDMI video.
