[mythtv-users] Which video card works best with a Samsung DLPHDTV?

[Todd Tidwell]

I'm using an fx5200 with the DVI interface.  The only problem I have is that
I have yet to find a modeline that works well and fits the entire screen.  I
either have to lose some around the edges (enough to be noticeable) or run
in "Wide PC" which fits but leaves a *ton* of blackspace.

I have an fx5200 that is running my 50" Sammy DLP through the VGA...
looks quite nice... an MX card would be good too.  I'm not using the
DVI since that's reserved for my cable box.
