[QUOTE="revs, post: 308054, member: 42810"] Basically - if you try and show 720p on a 1080p screen then the 720p image is stretched by the computers graphics card. Assuming a 720p resolution is set: Any video being shown will be scaled to 720p (as this is what the PC resolution is), so thats one resize, and then the graphics card will scale that to 1080p, so a second resize. so, say you are watching 1080p video. It will be resized to 720p (thus losing detail), and then when shown on the TV it will be stretched to 1080p. losing detail again, as its stretching the 720p image it scaled earlier. ...im confusing myself!! Basically - setting the resolution to match that of the TV is best! [/QUOTE]
