I can second that this is a widescreen monitor. Firstly, I have one too, and secondly, the math works out: 852 / 480 * 9 ~ 16 :). In my case, the TV is an ED Samsung. Now all I need to do is find a modeline for this resolution, and then I should be all set. Right? > This goes to your TV. Your TV is then compressing the 1440 lines down > to 480. I guess since it is compressing so far you are not losing much. My TV has 480p/720p/1080i component input, and from what I've read on AVS forum and elsewhere, it downconverts to the native 852x480 resolution. This is where I get fuzzy, and my brain starts to hurt. Is this native resolution progressive or interlaced? The manual is vague, to say the least. I see Google in my future .... Regards, Peter
