** Description changed:

  Video showing the problem with the 1080p resolution:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbFjy1Wf_CU
  
  I'm running current release of Lucid Lynx desktop version and trying to use 1080p with this TV.
  This report includes description of the released official (non-RC) 10.04 LTS desktop version.
  BIOS is now the latest 0028 version.
  
  Two tests:
  1. Connect HDMI from motherboard to Onkyo amplifier and from Onkyo amplifier to TV:
  " Onkyo 7" " text shown in display settings.
  2. Connect HDMI from motherboard directly to TV:
  " Samsung 7 " text shown in display settings.
  
  The first setup is the one I'm planning to use. What happens is that in
  both tests 1 and 2 couple of centimeters (1 inch) is missing at least
  from top and bottom of the screen (probably also from left and right). I
  can't see any menus but they are there if I scroll the mouse "outside"
  the visible area and click there. A workaround to this problem is to use
  "Screen Fit" option in the TV, not "16:9". The "Screen Fit" option has
  to be used with both 1920 x 1080 (16:9) and 1280 x 720 (16:9)
  resolutions. The resolutions seem to be correct however: if I take a
  screenshot then it is exactly 1280 x 720.
  
  In summary, there are three problems with this TV:
  1) "Screen Fit" option has to be selected.
  2) "Searching for Signals" problem in 1920 x 1080: it starts when scrolling in Firefox or moving windows.
  3) Flickering problem in 1920 x 1080: the picture "tears", this may include problem 2.
  4) No HDMI audio. There is only a faint "click" sound when trying to play audio.
  
  Scrolling in Firefox usually causes symptom 2 but the "Searching for Signals" text may disappear and the picture comes back if scrolling back.
  Flickering in problem 3 may disappear if moving the window back, but it starts again especially if window is on the border of the screen.
  
  Problems 2 and 3 do not occur with resolution 1280 x 720 so it is full
  HD specific.
  
  I also tried to install the latest PPA kernel (2.6.34-999). With this
  kernel problem 4 vanishes and the HDMI audio is played correctly. Also
  problem 3 is much less severe with the kernel update. Anyway even with
  the kernel update problems 1 and 2 remain.
