[mythtv-users] RE: Anyone using a 34" widescreen CRT for mythtv?

[PB]

Have you tried using the DVI input instead of s-video?  can you acheive hd resolutions (or at least 480p on dvds) that way?

I have a 34" widescreen sony (the KV34HS510). I'm waiting on delivery 
of a converter box that'll take VGA and convert it to RGB so I can use 
true HD resolutions. Right now I just have s-video going from my Myth 
box to the HDTV, so the resolution is not as good as it could be.

The tough part is figuring out what X modelines to use. I'm still not 
sure about that, but I think I've found some standard HDTV modelines to 
start with and tweak from there (to adjust for overscan, etc).
