Why did VIA say they upgraded the BIOS to handle 16:9 resolutions if they aren't going to offer them up? Or maybe that's just for boot mode before the OS takes over.

<br>>that as possible to allow for minimal scaling.</blockquote><div><br>I seem to recall somewhere that 1280 x 720 was the native resolution, but I could be mistaken. The front of the set has a label with HDTV 1080i on it.

1.08 BIOS. Seems like you only get that version of the BIOS from folks selling the daughter cards.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I ended up using an Audio Authority 9A60, it cost me a tad over 100$ USD.<br>It is a VGA to Component (Y-Pb-Pr) Transcoder.</blockquote><div><br>I've considered that road too since I have an open input for component video

<br></blockquote></div><br>Thanks for the modeline. I'll try it once I get hooked up with a better pipeline than SVideo. Where did you snag the 1.08 BIOS and can you send it to me or make it available somewhere I could download it?
