Mitsubishi.  I don't recall the model.  The manual says 1080i only.

I don't think I need a converter box in this case (or at least I'm 
hoping I don't.)  And anyway the one you suggest converts VGA to 
Component (Y-Pb-Pr), not RGB. 

The RGB input on my TV is a set of 5 RCA/phono jacks: red, green, blue, 
h-sync, and v-sync.  These correspond to the pin pairs 1/6, 2/7, 3/8, 
13/10, and 14/10  respectively of a 15-pin D-Sub VGA connector.  So I 
shouldn't need a converter, assuming I can get the video card to output 
1080i.
