The manual *claims* that the DVI can accept 1080i, but many other
forums report that this is basically falsehood. Toshiba also has lots
of warning plastered throughout the manual saying that hooking up a PC
to the DVI port is unsupported and will void the warranty.

So I'm hoping that the 9A60 will help me get a better picture through
component video than the 480 lines (of an overscanned 540p) I can get
with my TV's crippled/b0rked DVI port. It sounds like this is in the
realm of possibility for me.
