Why is it not a true 1280p?
It's 1080p, not 1280p. As in 1920x1080 pixels--versus 720p, which has
1280x720 pixels. And, when I say, "It's 1080p," I mean to include your
Sony KDS-R60XBR1 as well as the name of the standard.
Do you have a recommendation on a scaler and what role do they play?
It looks like there is different modelines depending on what you are
watching? How do you know which ones to pick out of the list? If I
pick the right modeline will it make my desktop take up the entire
screen? I am using the nVidia GeForce4 MX 4000, why will it make it
tougher to push 1280i?
I looked at my log file, Xorg.0.log, and could not find my EDID
information but I did find where it was trying to setup the resolution:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "1280x720" (no mode of this name)
(WW) NVIDIA(0): Not using mode "960x540p" (not a valid TV mode)
(**) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes for display device TV-0:
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "640x480": 25.2 MHz, 31.5 kHz, 60.0 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "320x240": 12.6 MHz, 31.5 kHz, 60.1
Hz (D)
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 640 x 480
You should not be using TV modes. Your TV is just a glorified monitor.
Set it up just like you would any other monitor for a desktop. And,
don't use S-Video or composite out. Check out avsforum.com for details

The two modes it would not pick up where two that I was playing with.
Thanks for the help I am very confused on getting the best out of my
TV. I don't blame you on waiting, I was using an old 32" TV for my
main tv viewing and trying to hold out for the prices to go out on the
1280p but the TV started to go out and I couldn't wait any longer. I
have to admit I am pretty happy with the purchase so far. I may not
have the same story a year from now.
I got a Samsung HL-R6768W (67" 1080p TV), because I was waiting for real
high-def TV's (not 720p "medium-def" TV's). Like you, I'm happy with my
purchase.
