PC to HDTV | Forums

I have my PC with a 7800GTX (XP x64 Pro, 81.98 drivers) connected to my Panasonic 26" LCD HDTV via a DVI to HDMI cable. My Panny is 1080i capable with a native resolution of 1366x768.

Questions:

1) My understanding is that an LCD looks best when viewed at it's native resolution (1366x768). But when I set 1366x768 and SaveAspect=0 in conf.ini the sim will not run, so the closest to that I can run the sim at is 1280x720. Is an LCD's 'native' resolution it's 'best' resolution for IQ? (EDIT: 1360x768 didn't work.)

2) With the Panny being 1080i capable, does that mean I should be running the sim at 1920x1080 for max resolution or do the two not relate?

3) Anybody running a PC to HDTV using a 7800GTX, what 'Performance and Quality Settings' are you using?
What drivers are you using?
