Also, don't discount a scan convertor. I got one on ebay for $30-40. Its
marvelous. Gives me total control over scaling and overscan--no need to
fuss with drivers. It has on screen display for configuration of all of the
options--very simple to get right. Also, the quality of a good scan
converter is most likely better than the quality of the average video card
TV-out. For MythTV, I'm not sure how much this matters (as its made to show
on a TV anyway)--however, you might like it better for seeing smaller text.
