I have the Sony KLV40V300A which goes great, with one exception. It reports the wrong physical size through the EDID data so the fonts end up very small. <BR>
<BR>
I found adding the following to the xorg.conf file sorted it:<BR>
<BR>
Option "UseEDIDDpi" "FALSE"<BR>
Option "DPI" "75 x 75"<BR>
<BR>
I have the above in the Device section for my Nvidia video card.<BR>
<BR>
The TV operates at 1360x768 with 3 empty columns of pixels on each side.<BR>
