More info?)
I have a FX5600 Ultra running DVI to my RCA DLP HDTV and I can choose
1920X1080 or 720X480. I know the RCA will not accept 720P resolution on the
DVI input so these must be the 2 settings that the TV will support. The
1920X1080 looks great, and the desktop is very readable except for the
overscan. I will be trying to make some changes to correct for the overscan
problems, got some info from the AVSforum.
