Phil -

It's _not_ the monitors (16:10). They're fine and not my problem. I
want workstation output to two places: 1) a monitor that must be
1920x1200 as required by specification (doable and done) and 2) to a
HDTV. ie, Wye the video-out from the workstations, same signal going
two places.

I have the video cards and cables to do this, and can do it at the wrong
resolutions. I need to do it at 1920x1200.

So to speak, I don't want HDTV on a monitor, I want the monitor at
1920x1200 on HDTV.
