I am wanting to replace my Mythbox's 17" CRT monitor with one of these TVs:
http://www.dynexproducts.com/products/televisions/DX-22L150A11.html
It's Best Buy's house brand.
It has a VGA input, which is all I have for output from my nVidia 6200
card, and the specs seem to indicate the TV will take what my card is
putting out to the CRT already.
The TV is E-EDID compliant, and suggests scan rates like I use now. Is one
rate bettter than others? I don't care what computer resolution is best and
can adapt what little desktop activity I do with the machine.
Right now my Xorg.conf uses:
Section "Monitor"

Does this seem like a decent plug-and-go replacement? What will I need to
change? I have a day of recording inactivity before the weekend NFL playoff
games so I have time to tinker and revert if I need to.
Thanks!
