[mythtv-users] Samsung CRT HD 32" TV WS32Z30HE

[Tortise]

Howdy

I am connecting this Samsung CRT TV up using an NVIDIA (9400GT) card over component.

It runs OK @ a default 1024x768 however I cannot get it to run at 720p (1280x720 or 1080i | 1920x1080).  (Blank blue screen)  

The below settings work fine on a similar Sony CRT 32" TV.  (HX32 and also DA32!)

In xorg.conf I have:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier     "Monitor0"
    VendorName     "Unknown"
    ModelName      "TV-0"
    HorizSync       24.0 - 82.0
    VertRefresh     50.0 - 75.0
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "ConnectedMonitor" "TV"
    Option         "TVOutFormat" "COMPONENT"
    Option         "NoLogo" "True"
    Option         "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
    Option         "TwinView" "0"
    Option         "metamodes" "TV: 1280x720 +0+0"   #!!!Comment out for 1080i else ok as default
#720p options:
#    Option         "TVStandard" "HD720p"    #DOES NOT WORK ON THE SAMSUNG
#1080i options:
#    Option         "TVStandard" "HD1080i"    #DOES NOT WORK ON THE SAMSUNG
#    Option         "metamodes" "TV: 1280x720 +0+0"
#    Option         "UseEvents" "0"  #Not sure where this goes however default seems to be off in any event so not an issue?
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
    Option         "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection



I am not sure if HorizSync = 24.0 - 82.0 and VertRefresh = 50.0 - 75.0 are correct for this TV?

It seems I cannot not download its EDID settings file.  

What do I need to do to get it to run @ 720p and 1080i, which it is capable of doing....
