The funny thing is I find this setup typical of 42" plasma
displays. 50" and larger ones use something scaled like computer
monitors, and so do the smaller LCD ones. My boss bought this one as
it was the largest that would fit on a mobile stand.

Currently by VGA. We should have the option of SVIDEO, if that would
be better.

In the process of getting a GeForce 6200 card with DVI, VGA, and
SVIDEO outputs. We started with a really lame card in an Averatec
portable, moved to a Dell one that had lots more modes but none that
helped--then we pulled a PC and used its onboard card. That's when
we found if we used a 16:9 mode it didn't work. Since we don't have
the new card installed yet, no driver either. Ideally, we want to do
this with XP Pro (currently installed), but since they are using
Power Point for this presentation Linux would be an option (but a bit
of a hard sell).
>2) What is in the EDID for this TV?
I'm pasting EDID data below my signature.
