I've been using a 19" LCD for several years with my desktop, but the desktop is a part-time HTPC with an HDTV card that puts out many resolutions. This LCD is around 4x3, so the picture I get is lopped off at the sides if the content is 16x9. For serious viewing, I use a projector whose native resolution is 720p, which is about 16x9 and when I go this route I get approximately the aspect ratio of broadcast HDTV.
I figure I'd get close to the correct aspect ratio with this display:

If I get that, would I be able to configure the display to handle the 720p resolution of the HDTV cards (MyHD 130 with daughterboard)? The DTV resolutions of the cards are:
720x480p
864x480
800x600p
1024x768p
1280x720p
1280x1024p
1360x768p
1440x1080i
1920x1080i
Supports 4:3 or 16:9
