Sounds like your display is a true 720p HDTV (1280x720). WXGA also means
1280x720. 1280/720 is the same as 16/9 so the aspect ratio is 16:9. It seems
like the LCDs have a little extra (1386x788) but in the end you should be
using 1280x720, 60Hz in display properties on your computer. Can't you
select this in display settings, advanced, List All Modes? Do you have the
latest drivers for your video card? Which video card?

So knowing that I had the DVI in, I found a PC with the DVI Out option and
payed the $100 for the cable. Now, the specifications don't say, other than
for the Component video inputs, what the resolution settings for the
DVI-HDTV Inputs are. Any idea from there. I will check my Sony manual when
I get home to see if there is any more information in there.

find the answer.
