<br>I have that exact model. If you're planning on using an DVI to HDMI to<br>hook up your machine, plan on hitting a serious snag regarding overscan.<br>I only experience it when in X-windows since you can tweak MythTV to
<br>compesnate for the overscan issues. So when I'm in x-windows, I can <br>only see the very top of my taskbar and have a hard time finding the close <br>window button at the top right if the application window is switched to
<br>fullscreen. Most of everything I've have tried in MythTV works just fine with <br>the screen tweaking menus so it's not really that much of a problem at all.<br><br>
I did try it on XP using a little app called Powerstrip. I was able to <br>
compesnate for the overscan with the DVI to HDMI setup. I don't have<br>
MCE so I can't vouch for that OS but I can say that I did tackle it with<br>
XP & Powerstrip.<br>

That being said, the TV itself is very nice. I got mine from Newegg for less than<br>$899. For the all the features and picture quality this HDTV gives, it's still<br>a great buy. Excellent picture quality, IMO. Especially when watching DVDs.
