If HDMI only is plugged in I get horrible continuous flashing situation with  console/bios boot displayed normally followed by a completely green screen.

My recent-ish (~1 year old) Sony displays the BIOS screens fine via HDMI, though they do have a large black border around them. My parents' brand new Samsung behaves the same way. I've never used VGA with the TV (never had any need to) so I don't know what that's like.
