 Thanks guys, that helps.  I didn't see any EDID information - I'm wondering
if this is because I'm using the VGA input instead of DVI.....
Also, when playing back SDTV, it doesn't quite scale to full screen - it's
letterboxed on the sides, in 4:3 format.  I had just assumed that this was
normal since I was viewing 4:3 material on a 16:9 screen.  Maybe not?
