Eric,

My mistake....I have a KV-32HS420 and mis-read yours to be the same.

Given that, I wonder if the component input to a standard television still
requires tri-level sync ?

I seem to recall looking at my dvd player component output ( which isn't
high def) and seeing this tri-level sync as well.  Don't hold me to that, since
it's been awhile, but I would want to confirm this sync issue first.

You might check out www.avsforum.com .  I spent a lot of time there and 
I also spent a lot of time experimenting with "Powerstrip"  on a windows box.
In fact, I was able to get a picture in Linux using the modelines from
Powerstrip
but the picture was too unstable to use ( due to the lack of tri-level sync).

Best of luck.
