None, actually. You only need to use the graphics driver (Either Nvidia or ATI), or use Powerstrip if your computer doesn't have them or using VGA. When you do the custom resolution, you needing to make sure the timings MATCH the normal resolution. For Nvidia Control panel, you simply select customize resolution, and first make sure the timing below are set to manual before doing any resolution changes. Ideally, you should set the vertical resolution to manual to a multiple of 8 (example 1920x816).

I was planning on running Hdmi from the pc to my receiver. Do you see any problem with this?

You should be able to use an A-lens by sending in a 1920x810 signal, and using your projector's V-stretch mode for it to work. It might even do the stretching for you, or if it does have a native setting (for it to work with zoom or stretch with projector).

Has anyone got a chance to play L.A. Noire on PC? I have a copy on steam and it will not let me select 1280x540, and I know I'll need to use widescreenfixer to do this.

It would be awesome to play the game in an aspect ratio that is the same as the cutscenes in the game.

That said, I'm definitely going to pick up an NVIDIA Gfx card. First off, Skyrim glitches on lots of the environment shaders in Tridef (without Power 3D on, with it on they simply do not appear). There's a shader fix for stereo in dx9 but only for 3DTV Play / NVIDIA. I can always use my "old" 6950 when I upgrade to power my plasma TV when I have friends over for gaming.
Did I mention I LOVE widescreen??? Playing Skyrim in 3D using 1920x816 was a dream come true. It was INCREDIBLY annoying figuring out why it wasn't working, from having to bypass my receiver since it's only HDMI 1.3, to having to set catalyst to 1080i and THEN switch down to the custom resolution of 1920x816 to maintain the 60h interlaced so that side-by-side would work. Then when I quit the game the windows desktop is all messed up. What a hot mess this ATI 3D solution is.
