That just moves the upscaling to the TV instead ofthe video card and I agree that will probably look equally bad. What Imeant was to use a modeline with the same timing as the native resolution but with a smaller display area (making it look like a severely underscanned picture). You get the same effect as "zooming out" -- a smaller screen more appropriate for the viewing distance.
Ah, okay, didn't realize that was what you were suggesting. No thanks though, I'd rather use the full screen real estate. I can't even stand watching SDTV with black pillars, I usually use stretch mode to fill the screen. :-)
