[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 522970, member: 76888"] Doesn't matter what the manual states, the fact is the display's native resolution is 1024x768, if you feed any other resolution then the TV is doing scaling, howevery if your not happy with 1024x768, the next best res would be 1280x720 (ie 720p), there is no point using 1080i as it is just scaled down. The signal outputted to the TV will be 1024x768 (same as desktop resolution) The signal outputted to the TV is always the desktop resolution no matter what kind of video you play. ie if desktop resolution is 800x600 and you play a 1080p movie then the following happens. Movie (1920x0180) -> Computer scales to 800 x 600 -> Computer outputs 800 x 600 to TV -> TV scales to 1024 x 768 -> You view movie @ 1024 x 768. ie if desktop resolution is 1024x768 and you play a 1080P movie 1920 x 1080 Movie -> Computer scales down to 1024x768 -> Computer outputs 1024x768 to TV -> TV doesn't need to scale -> You view movie @ 1024 x 768 ie if desktop resolution is 1280x720 (ie 720P) and you play a 1080P movie 1920x1080 Movie -> Computer scales down to 1280x720 -> Computer outputs 1280x720 -> TV scales down to 1024x768 -> You view the movie @ 1024 x 768 Important points... 1. Least number of scaling steps occur if you set the computer resolution to match the tv's native pixel resolution 2. Computer typically does a better job of scaling than a tv [/QUOTE]
