Which Sharp Aquos?

I did a mighty battle with mine to get it to sync on anything...  
Finally came up with a modeline that worked.  Sharp, of course, was 
totaly unhelpful - basically, in spite of showing in the manual how to 
connect it to a PC, their tech support claims this is 'unsupported' and 
won't help at all...  I am so pissed at Sharp about this...

Anyway, what setup/modeline and what model of Sharp do you have?
