A third option is to use something like SwitchResX to create a
custom setting to match your HDTV input, but I don't believe this
is a good option.
Why?
SwitchResX is rather pricey (€14=$17.80 today). I'd rather put the
money into a more compatible hardware. SwitchResX can be difficult to
setup because specific information about the exact technical details
of the custom timing you require often isn't readily available. Some
custom timings can cause problems which are very difficult to recover
from.
There's also the freeware alternative of DisplayConfigX. It's also
difficult unless you know the exact settings you require.
By exact settings, I mean for either SwitchResX or DisplayConfigX you
may need to know details about the pixel clock, TDMS rate, the front &
back porch, or other technical specifications which can be difficult
to obtain. Small errors can make big problems.
