Thanks guys, that helps. I didn't see any EDID information
- I'm wondering if this is because I'm using the VGA input instead of
DVI.....<br>
Also, when playing back SDTV, it doesn't <span style="font-style: italic;">quite</span>
scale to full screen - it's letterboxed on the sides, in 4:3
format. I had just assumed that this was normal since I was
viewing 4:3 material on a 16:9 screen. Maybe not? <br>
