samsung 1280*720 (PC mode) and (DTV mode)?

Hi,
I got a Samsung 5067 DLP tv this weekend, the Pic is good and HD chanel is nice. and samsung has a PC port, it is good.
But I have question for the PC port, in the manul, it says:
for 1024 * 768 you can chose the pic size from "wide tv" and "wide PC". basiclly "wide tv" is a overscan version of "wide pc", which will make the task bar of windows out of screen. "wide pc" is nice it shows all the pc screen, and the TV has a black area suround it.

when I change the resolution of widows desktop to 1280 * 720, the screen option become "16:9" "4:3". in both mode I will not see the task bar,
when I refer to the user manual, it says:
in 1280 * 720 (PC mode), you can chose from "wide PC" "Wide TV"
in 1280 *720 (DTV mode), you can chose from "16:9" "4:3"
My question is: what does (PC mode), and (DTV mode) mean? how can I change the TV from DTV mode to PC mode? or shall I change my windows from DTV mode to PC mode?

Any one has any idea?

Your PC graphics mode should be set to 1280 x 720p @ 60 Hz. Your TV should also have another setting beside Wide PC and Wide TV... Enhanced or something like that... this is usually the best setting. Wide TV has standard 5% overscan, Wide PC has 5% underscan. Enhanced is about 2% overscan & 1:1 pixel mapping.

Actually I set my PC to 1280*720 @ 60 hz. and the only option I have is 16:9 or 4:3.
any idea?

It's in the TV setup menu, under 'PC'...
