All, 

Thank you for the information. 

I have been doing a lot of reading, and its starting to come together. 

I did finally get something working, kind of. Below is the modeline that I finally ended up using. (via alot of trail and error) The color is fine, but there is a lot of over scan.

 Modeline "1280x720" 75.27 1280 1312 1592 1624 720 735 742 757

No level of tweaking, got rid of the over scan. I finally decided to use the --geometry setting for mythfrontend (instructing the application to only use part of the screen, the visible part)

I have a feeling that the note in the manual about not using the monitor with a PC was CYA by Toshiba.

If anyone has suggestions to get rid of the over scan, I am listening. (A 12 pack of Boulevard to the person with the answer that works.) 

Resources I used.
