So I hooked up my 15" and when I push the menu button on the LCD I see 960X720 what the heck is this I am feeding it with a digital OTA tuner via transcoder.

640X480 I have seen
800X600 I have seen
960X720

I bought an HD camcorder just before last christmas. it's 1080, 24p capable. to my surprise, when captured into my computer it reports it as 1440x1080. ?? hmmmm.... so... as i've learned it's that the signal is an "anamorphic" HD signal, with a 4:3 (1.333) PAR (pixel aspect ratio)... (vs. a 1:1, or square PAR). multiply 1440x1.3333 = 1920x1080.

same maybe true for what your transcoder is doing ? 960x1.33333 = 1280x720 ??

HTH.

Hmm that is very interesting I never heard of such a thing. I am using a standard 15" and it letterboxes the top and bottom for a widescreen effect, but if you say I am getting 720P out of my 15" I am happy with that
