Yes, I'm using a TV (Panasonic Plasma).  I'm connecting to the plasma 
over DVI->HDMI.   I'm using a progressive modeline, it's a very slightly 
modified version of the built-in 720p progressive modeline (version of 
the built-in 1280x720 progressive modeline).

I could try an interlaced modeline, but I'm not sure it's possible over 
DVI.  Is it?

If you user an interlaced modeline, I'd be using the TV's deinterlacer 
... which should be of a good quality, right?
