If you use that DisplaySize on a 4:3 monitor/TV with an X screen size of 
720x576, your aspect ratio does not match your display's aspect ratio 
(i.e. TV is 4:3, but resolution/DisplaySize is 5:4).  (Note that this 
also applies to NTSC's 720x480, which is 3:2.)  I'd go with:

# Use 100DPI vertical for "TV" resolutions (720x576 or 720x480)
#       DisplaySize  182 137

Otherwise, you'll probably have to set a 4:3 override in Myth.
