I think that may depend on your video card, but you probably have to
create a custom modeline. Widescreen TV has an aspect ration of 5:3,
versus 4:3 for standard monitors and TVs, so that would be 1280x768 or
1000x600 or maybe 800x480, if I'm not mistaken. LCD computer monitors
specify the exact number of pixels they can display, is that not true
for LCD TVs?
