bought it before July of this year, it's a 1280x720 set--the 1080p<br>Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) is brand new this year.)</blockquote><div><br>
Ok, i know it's 720p and 1080i, not 1080p, yea it sucks i bought it
february (good deal, was at my sisters so no sales tax, compared to
were i live (yea ask my wife the story of getting that in the back of
our focus se sedan, hehe but i meassured and i knew it would fit and it
did, abet windows had to be down a bit for a 4 hour drive, at nite in
february) um no interest, payments for 2 years, plus a 500 dollar gift
guard, which i used to buy my wife a really nice digital camera),
anyways i tried puting mode "1280x720" in my xf86config-4 file i belive
under device, but it wouldn't work, so how do i set a modeline for
that? so i can get it to work, would really like the higher res. <br>
<br>
And do i still have to use deinterlacing? (which is best, kernel, bob, liner,?)<br>
