Default Computerformats and Videoformats

What is the difference beetween "Computerformat" and "Videoformat"?

My TV has following Display Resolutions:
Computerformats
640 x 480 60 HZ
800 x 600 60 HZ
1024 x 768 60 Hz

Videoformats
640 x 480i 1Fh
640 x 480p 2 Fh
720 x 576i 1 Fh
720 576p 2 Fh
1280 x 720p 3 Fh
1920 x 108i 2 Fh

I have my PC connected via DVI and the displayresolution is 1280x768 at 60 Hz and it works!

Philips by any chance

Same here, if i try its native 720, everything is squashed\misshapen and just not clear, especially in windows, i think its down to the tv hardware processing, which causes it.
Tried every other combination can think off, but as above resolution gives totally great pictures on HD movies, then it suits me.

Sometimes people go for the technical holy grail of 1 to 1 pixel mapping and forget they are after a good picture, which is what really counts.
