Interestingly, when replugged the HDTV a second time, I was offered yet a higher resolution for it, 1360 x 768, 16:9 format. Much better for movies, so I set this one instead and below are the two displays for comparison. Nice.

David and Goliath
Today I decided to try to use my Samsung HDTV as external monitor for my EeePC. Plugged the VGA cable on both end and then needed to start the Gnome Display setting GUI to trigger the detection of an external monitor. Once found it presented me a list of resolutions and I chose the highest one (1024 x 768, 4:3 format) available. Restarted X and done.
