[mythtvnz] 50Hz vs 60Hz refresh rate

The really issue that was being discussed in the other hijacked thread
was that:

TV VGA inputs not supporting 1080p50 or 60.
TV VGA inputs not supporting full HD 1920x1080 (at any video mode).
TVs only allowing full HD p50 p60 over HDMI.

And ..
PC monitors typically do not support any 50Hz mode. 

IMO
Using a more appropriate video mode is worth the effort.
Using the video card to do all processing/scaling is best (if GPU is up
to it).
