[mythtv-users] Myth & 1280x720 modeline on screenplay 5000

[William Lewis]

I found this website helpful:

I don't know what an InFocus ScreenPlay is, but I ended up driving a 42" 
Grand Wega with DVI out -> HDMI in.  I think the VGA route would have been 
much simpler, though.  In particular, look at the Modelines ready-to-go for 
native HD display section.
