Wow, I haven't been on this thread in a LONG time. I noticed some blue blobs on my screen and decided to check in. I guess I'm glad to hear that Sony is doing something about this. So, if I'm reading the recent posts correctly: Call...

I have no idea why it would flicker. Is it only while watching video? If so, it's probably a video decoder (sofware) issue. Those are REAL hard to figure out...

It CAN'T hurt the TV. If the TV receives a signal it can't display it just won't display it. These aren't like old CRT's that can be overdriven by high frequency signals. The jumping back while you are fooling with the settings is...

YES! I've avoided using HDMI since the TV insists on fooling with the signal. You'll be amazed with VGA on this TV. I watch Blu-Ray movies exclusively on my HTPC now, and they look amazing.

In the first post there are instructions for resizing the screen as well. If you are having underscan, just increase the size and/or move it so you get the task bar where you want it. I've not fooled much with Media Center, but it's...

For newer video cards I've had to go with an ATI to get 1:1 pixel mapping. With VGA you need to "resize" the 1280x768 to the smaller resolution while keeping the timings the same. That only works if Powerstrip can take over the timings.

If it syncs up at all then it should be OK. Something else is going on. Either the drivers are taking over or something else is overriding the Powerstrip timings. It still may be something that requires you to buy an add-on video...
