Never could have imagined how much better 1366x768 on the HDMI connection could look vs. the same resolution using a RGB/VGA cable. Thanks so much for posting these settings, from what I've read online before I thought this would be impossible. Confirmed these settings working on my VX32L.

While it looks great and fits the screen precisely, the UI Elements are too large at this setting. The colors seem muted though could probably be re-calibrated. On the plus side, PIP can now be used which it couldn't on the VGA input. I usually run the display at 1920 X 1080i (without Overscan) as the UI Element sizing allows for a larger working desktop. The problem I have with it is window-boxing of around a half-inch top and bottom, and each side around 3/4". That tends to squish the display. I'm looking to expand the 1920 X 1080i to full screen, while keeping a smaller UI Element size. There's an in-depth article on the subject at the AVS Forums: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=751713 I think this uses Overscan, but haven't done much with it yet.

Had to use 1360, so scan rates are slightly different than yours, but it seemed to do the trick. With my old configuration, I was getting jerky video playback in the monitor, which has since been resolved.

What model Vizio do you have, specifically? And what settings did you use in SRX? I'll update the post to include it. Glad to hear it worked, Joe. What model Vizio do you have, specifically?
