Title: I got it to work, but still unstatisfactory
Review: After a lot of frustration, I managed to get my laptop to output a picture to my HDTV in 720p mode. But the highly touted 1080i mode just gave me a rolling series of colored bars.Now here's the catch: Your 4:3 laptop output is AUTOMATICALLY stretched to 16:9. On my HDTV there is no way to adjust the signal to stop this (I spent many hours trying.) Of course you can set the GRANDTEC to 480 mode, but then the screen becomes unreadable. So my plan to use the GRANDTEC to allow me to edit photos in my family room won't work, because the people look like they're standing in a front of a fun-house mirror.It's possible there is a work-around, but since GRANDTEC makes you pay long-distance charges for a call to customer service, I didn't bother to find out. I took it back to the store.PS to GRANDTEC: Your manual and Web site stink!
