You're absolutely right, and I've been running the monitor at its native resolution the entire time :)

So now for the million dollar question... Do you think it would be worthwhile to try a bttv based card?

Alternatively, would using some sort of video (svideo/composite) input on a normal video card be a better
solution for connecting other devices to the monitor (obviously this wouldn't work for the tv tuner aspect).

I'm really trying to solve two problems, but even one would work:
1) Improving the image quality when using the tv tuner
2) Improving the image quality when connecting external video devices (ie, camera, gaming console, etc).
