I was using my Gigabit G4 as a reference and as far as an iBook is concerned, I would not be at all surprised that such options were not available. I'm going to fire up my 15" Powerbook G4 which I feel will support 16:9 since it is already sorta wide screen. BTW, I never saw these resolutions as being available on the Gigabit prior to installing the Samsung but I guess that the auto seansor just picked up on this. I'll report back later this evening.
