[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 523957, member: 83973"] If it offers 1080p (not 1080i) then try it and see if you like it, otherwise I'd go for 720p. My experience with the nVidia custom resolution settings (on Vista) is that if the TV won't accept it (see below) then nVidia won't generate it, or it will re-scale it on the video card to match what the TV will accept. If you want the real info on what the TV will accept, download and run [URL="http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm"]Monitor Asset Manager[/URL] It produces a report of the EDID data from the TV listing out the available video modes e.g. the relevant section from my Pana FullHD LCD TV is below: //--------------------------------------------- Standard timings supported EIA/CEA-861 Information Revision number.......... 3 DTV underscan............
