I may be showing my n00b colors here, but I really didn't do anything
much to get it working. I have a Costco Sharp panel. Labeled
LC-40C32U but probably really the  	  LC-32D41U given the connections.

I am using the DVI input, as I thought I read that HDMI can be
problematic with some panels. I literally didn't do anything except at
a TVStandard 1080i to the Device section, and change the resolution to
1280x768. Then, on the TV, there is a setting to force it to 1366x768.
I have no idea what this combo does, but it totally works and looks
wonderful.

Am I just upscaling a 1280x768 picture? Honestly, it looks as good as
a non-Myth HD signal.
