</div>Welp, I was looking at some Sharp Aquos models which<br>
have VGA inputs, and the manuals listed all the<br>
supported modes for that input fall short of full<br>
1080x1920 resolution (though the TVs themselves are<br>
native 1080x1920 and it can handle full res with<br>
component or HDMI inputs). Here's a manual:<br>
<br>

<br>
It shows a highest rest for VGA input to be<br>
1600x1200@60Hz. No 1080 mode. Also, at least some of<br>
the LG models only go to 1360x768 for the VGA input.<br>
<br>
Googling around I saw other people complaining about<br>
the same thing with other TVs. Somewhere (can't<br>
remember) I saw it claimed that VGA inputs typically<br>
don't support 1080x1920 because it's not a true VGA<br>
mode.<br>
<br>
In any event I'm pretty sure I can do 1080p/i with<br>
Y-Pb-Pr on a Sharp TV, but it would be nice to have a<br>
digital link via HDMI -> HDMI or DVI -> HDMI (with<br>
separate sound). This seems to be the part that gets<br>
more sketchy.<br>
<div><br></div></blockquote></div><br>I have the 42" Sharp Aquos (42D64U) connected with HDMI and it does 1080p fine with my motherboard (Abit AN-M2 / AMD 5000+). It has onboard DVI graphics, so I just use a DVI->HDMI cable to connect to the TV. You can get the cable from <a href="http://monoprice.com">monoprice.com</a> if you are in US/Canada - their prices are great<br>
<br>I've also used the same TV with a slightly slower computer with a $20 MSI graphics card doing the DVI->HDMI capture, and it was able to do 1080p as well.

<br>The setup is straight forward, and newer xorgs have modelines for 1080p.<br>
