I need some help with my HDTV

I have a 19" Element HDTV and I recently got an HDMI cable my TV supports 480p, 720p, and 1080i but there was another option that said "optimal resolution" when I set it to that the screen got smaller and turned to widescreen and it said:1440X900at60Hzwhich is the bestfor gaming between 720p, 1080i, and 1440X900 at 60Hz? Also is 1440X900 at 60Hz considered HD? If anyone knows the answers please tell me thanks!

Cool. But what do you mean by it being interlaced? My apologies I don't know much about TV's. So it's better than 720p but is it better than 1080i or is it the same?

I just put it at 1440x900 at 60 hz and it looks pretty good but my next question is: is it still HD? Because when I look at it up close none of the pixels show up like they used to. If you know please tell me!PwNiShEr1216

Like I said before thanks but I have one last question you said I'll notice better picture quality with the 1080i signal if I'm running it at 1440x900. My last question is do I have to manually run it like that or does it run it like that by itself? If I have to do it manually HOW do I do it?PwNiShEr1216

Pwn, it matters what you are looking for is this playing videogames or watchin T.V.? if it is a 360 it'll automatically scale to your T.V's Rez, but if it is anything else it needs to be using 720p or1080i/p. (trust me.)

You'll be fine using your Xbox360 at the optimized resolution of 1440x900 60Hz. Every other source it should autodetect and adjust accordingly.

Again thanks very much... It is normal for the T.V. to make the display slightly smaller after I change it to the optimized resolution right?PwNiShEr1216
