    Do any of those profiles directly address interlacing and tearing?

    I have some tearing on my upstairs set (SD CRT) that I would like 
to get rid of. Although now that I think about it, it might be a xine
problem. Given that I do have both types of sets (HD vs SD) it would 
be nice to know if there are canned profiles that acomodate both of
them easily.

    The old set runs at 640x480 and the new on runs at 1080p.
