<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>

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.</blockquote>

<div>A friend of mine using Myth has it connected using a DVI -> HDMI cable conencted to an FX5200 and it is beautiful running at 1080p. He didn't do much other than set his xorg.conf to 1920x1080 and let it fly. </div>
