Yeah, that was bull crap. They pulled that out of their butt. Video resolution is totally internal to the TV/monitor. In the realm of possibility, the only issue that would damage your video card would be power coming back from one of the connections. But this is HIGHLY unlikely as it would have already taken out the offending TV. Maybe hooking to the output instead of the input of a signal booster could possibly damage your card, but i doubt that too.

The only limit to how many TVs you can run would be signal strength, but it doesn't PULL power from your video card. Your video card outputs at a constant level. As you add devices, or distance, they have less signal to share. That is where the booster comes in. If what you are describing as a "matrix" is a distribution hub, it probably plugs in and is powered. That will get you where you need to go.
