Mine is a 720p LCD TX-32LX500A with native resolution of 1366x768, which is
an abomination. X displays at 1280x720, which at least is 16:9. See
http://pixelmapping.wikispaces.com/Panasonic+TVs

The set does not have a native pixel mapping mode so does overscan. To see
the gui properly I need to use the nvidia-settings overscan setting, which
seems to reduce picture quality.
