The $400 Wal-Mart HDTV I bought in 2005...

The only HD out option on this TV is component. I set this up as a TwinView 2nd monitor so that I could do the initial install in anonther room and then move it in. Since it is a 4:3 screen, most of the time I have it in "Zoomed in" unless I'm watching a 16:9 formatted program, so I've set the Myth Gui in "setup" screen to be 1280x1024 (the correct size for the Myth Gui to fit the 4:3 screen while zoomed in) and the TV output to be 1920x1080, in case I want to "zoom out" to 16:9 letter box (with the function built into the TV, not MythTV).
