In theory, yes, but I found that Kernel+No OpenGL produced the best
video output under 59.94i after the one I actually use (under 59.94p).

Now here comes a small, but potentially significant, caveat that I
should've included originally. My MythTV box's DVI cable is plugged
into DVI1 on the panel. I recall reading someplace that DVI1 on the
LVM-37W1 is designed to not do any deinterlacing on its video output,
whether it's fed interlaced video or not. It's possible I've thus not
actually been putting the panel's deinterlacing circuitry to the test.

Since the couch I'm sitting on is far too comfortable and I don't feel
like getting up to rearrange my setup, I hereby dub thee the Duke of
Deinterlacing and bide thee to, when it arrives, try the various DVI
inputs on the LVM-42W2 out and see if there are any differences.

PS - Do you actually have some true-HD video content to test the panel
with? Have you already equipped yourself with ATSC cards or HD cable
boxes?
