I don't have the HL-Rxxx7W, but an HL-Rxxx8W, and it allows me to scale the image (from VGA input) so that I can set it up with a bit of overscan, so I would guess that the 7 series would do likewise.

RE: [mythtv-users] X.org modeline for Samsung HLR5067W?
I have the HLR5067W. I'm currently using a nvidia FX5200, VGA out. Its also not perfect, I do have some black borders. In a dark theater room though, they are not noticable. I've always planned on using the DVI instead, I already have the cable, but swapping in a Windows drive just to run powerstrip is more than I feel like doing right now, just to find what looks good. Have your tried changing the TV's aspect option from 16:9 to WidePC? That should get rid of the black borders, at least it does on my HLR6167. That option is only available when using the PCInput, not DVI. When using DVI on these TV's, your options are much more limited. The PC input allows you to resize, move up, down, left, right, etc. Also, I went back and forth between DVI and PC input, and I could not tell a difference in quality - both were great. Yes, I've tried that. I figured I would eventually use that once I stop fiddling with all the settings of the Linux and Myth. I would have to use the GUI offset and size option to center it and fit it on the screen since WidePC causes the image to be cropped. (I can't see the login prompt in WidePC) Also, I can notice a slight quality improvement when using DVI over VGA, but usually only with a lot of text on the screen, especially during startup. While watching video, it is much harder to detect - which is most of the reason why I haven't done much fiddling with it yet. attachment: winmail.dat___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I tried forever to to find a good modeline, but never did. I was also using the DVI jack.

Now, the picture is perfect, with only a slight overscan, maybe 5-15 pixels in each direction. When watching TV, a little overscan is _good_, since most broadcasts have a crappy edge because overscan is expected on regular TV's. Just have the MythFrontend GUI in a window, adjust to match your screen area, and play video back full screen.
