My Samsung TV (LE26R41BD, panel resolution 1366x768) happily accepts
any reasonable input over HDMI. If queried, it claims to only support
the usual HDTV modes (720x480/576, 1280x720, 1920x1080i), but if
another mode is forced it works just fine. For the VGA input, all the
usual adjustments are possible through the onscreen menu.
