I find this very surprising esp for Sony.
It seems the Sony X series has/had better VGA capabilities..
That design engineer probably fell on his sword.

Is this a new/current model ?
Is this 1080p50 ?

The Bravia model is HDready only over analogue connections (XBox
forums).

Anybody else got a full HD TV that accepts 1080i or 1080p over VGA
and/or component ? 

It would be a good Mythtv resource to know the TV capabilities.
So does your TV do:
-    direct-pixel-mapping/just-scan/no-overscan
-    real 1920x1080 not 1440x1080 or 1280x720
-    can turn off/minimise the internal processing
-    confirm 50Hz modes work (in addition to 60Hz)
-    progressive modes work 1080p (in addition to 1080i)
-    VGA and/or component works
-    custom modeline needed
-    does it look any good (subjective)

note: analogue mode only information.

Is this a bad idea/waste of time ?
Thanks.
