That's right.

The refresh rate selection is independent of the resolution.

Remember that as with most code, it was implemented first and foremost
for my own use.
I let my PC do all the scaling as required.. I see no technically
valid advantage to have the TV do the scaling over the PC when it
comes to quality of scaling.

So whatever my PC output is at the native resolution of the TV.

For TV using a non standard resolution, like 1366x768, what Ive often
seen is that at the native res, it only accepts 60Hz, so for those
feeding 1080i or 720p make sense as IMO, you're better of matching the
refresh rate than matching the resolution : for more noticeable.

I may look shortly at enabling the tv resolution matching. Someone
posted some useful info a few days ago on the matter.
