Yes, that's what I meant to say, the current spec doesn't support
1080p. The modelines I have for my TV (obtained over the VGA
D-sub port) work fine for the standard 480p/720p/1080i resolutions over
DVI but as soon as I go outside those modes the TV displays "MODE NOT
SUPPORTED" the bastards at Samsung disabled the TV from even attempting
to display them. The real kicker is that older-model TVs like the
5667W will actually take the incoming transmission and at least attempt
to display it coming in over DVI.<br>
<br>
When I was planning my myth machine I really wanted DVI for the
clearest possible picture. I know I am a geek becuase I actually
took my machine into the store so I could test it out on their TV
before I bought it. When I got it (the 5667W) home I tried like
hell to get rid of the overscan over the DVI but I couldn't solve it
with modelines and there aren't any options in the TVs OSD to scale it
or correct for overscan so I ditched the DVI all together.<br>
<br>
Once I realized that I'd be running analog, I decided to return
the 5667W and go all out on the 5678W, since I could get a whole new
slew of resolutions. It actually worked out very well with xMame
games since lots of the newer ones require very high resolutions.
:) Anyway, I'm rambling again. It's late... good night.<br>

I suspect either the dvi spec just doesn't support it, <br>
