John, it is a DVI limitation because your video card is sending a
digital signal to the TV and it's displaying 1:1. meaning one pixel
from the video card to one pixel on the TV. You won't be able to
adjust the overscan or scale the picture since it is a digital
signal. Using a digital signal will give you the clearest
possible picture and it was what I wanted but I changed my mind
mid-purchase (and actually returned two TVs). I went analog
(D-sub) so I could scale the screen down to fit on the TV, I play lots
of games on my TV and in order to see the status bars on the edges of
the screen I had to switch to analog mode anyway (the DVI port cuts
about an inch off all four sides of the picture). Besides, I'm
happy that I went analog because I got Sammy's new 5678W which does
1920x1080p, the thing they don't advertise is that you can't get a
1080p transmission over anything but the D-sub plug. DVI/HDMI
doesn't support those high bandwidths (yet?).<br>

Good luck, and if you need more modelines, I have all the ones for my TV from powerstrip.<br>

Here are a few that work for my Sammy DLP via the DVI port:<br><br> ModeLine
"1280x720" 74.2 1280 1390 1430 1650 720 725 730 750<br> ModeLine
"ATSC-720-60p1" 74.2 1280 1320 1376 1648 720 722 728 750<br> ModeLine
"ATSC-720-60p2" 74.2 1280 1320 1376 1650 720 722 728 750<br><br>I still get overscan that I can't adjust out with modelines. Is that<br>is a DVI limitation?<br><br>
