No. My 1280x720 image is displayed as is (the TV is specified as native
1280x720) on the PC DVI output into the TV HDMI input. The edges are not
visible. If I set a mode that is not 1280x720 the TV refuses to show it.
It can, however, scale a HD1080 to HD720, buts does not help me.

I did just that. I will now repeat everything and keep a record of the
combination tested, not just trusting my memory.
