[QUOTE="bigj, post: 12377, member: 10940"] I've stuck with 720x576 despite using it on a widescreen TV. My reasoning is that at 848x480 you are loosing resolution (576->480 lines). And there is no real extra data in those 128 horizontal pixels (I think). Perhaps there is an improvement having the PC do the linear stretch rather than the analogue out, but I did try both and personally much prefered 720 stretched with the extra vertical resolution. I believe even anamorphically encoded DVDs are still at 720x576 and are intended to be stretched horizontally. In that respect running 720x576 on a widescreen TV is just perfect. You just need to remember to set the aspect up for MP interfaces - using the screen calibration - else photos etc get stretched too. I may be wrong in all this - but I'm sure someone will correct me if that's the case ;) I'm still keen to hear of ANY positive experiences running 720x576 with VGA->RGB using a Radeon 9200 or 9250.
