If you use DVI you should use the video standard 1080i, 720p, and 480p<br>
signals. (In fact, the TV may complain if you use anything else.) This<br>
will force the TV to use its internal scaler. If you use RGB you can<br>
treat the TV as a 1366x768 display and use Myth and your video card to<br>
do the scaling.<br>
