No i didn't? but I admit I don't know all the fine points about HD.

When the monitor is hooked to a PC it's capable of going as high as 2048x1536 resolution so wouldn't it be able to do 1080i?

I'm using the VGA output of the tuner and it's selectable from 480p to 1080i so I assumed the monitor would switch to accomodate it.

Here's a shot of the back of the tuner, it has an RF output so I'm assuming I should be able to use it with a vintage set as well?
I need to read the instructions I guess.
