I haven't been able to determine which is native for my set. (Samsung
40" LCD, LN-R409D) However, after searching around on avsforum I did
find this thread:<div> <br>
<a href="http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=622561&highlight=samsung+409+native">http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=622561&highlight=samsung+409+native</a></div><br>Like the OP in that thread, my native
<span style="font-weight: bold;">resolution</span> is also 1366x768. I guess I'm not understanding what the relationship is between resolution and output modes like 1080i, 720p, etc. Does forcing a particular resolution in my
xorg.conf file determine which mode gets used? Also, since I'm using the VGA input on my TV, would it even matter if I set a particular "mode"?? <br>
