I'm not particularly sure how my LCD did this, but when I took DVI
from my HD cable box, the LCD switched over to 1920x1079 60Hz (per the
info screen on the LCD).  It doesn't really seem right that it should
have been able to do this, since its only a 19" LCD that normally has
a native res of 1280x1024.

It also gave me a message as soon as the picture popped up telling me
that "This isn't the native resolution of this LCD....." or something
like that, and to switch to 1280x1024.

Its a Samsung 930B btw.
