What's the best resolution to choose for a HD-ready TV ?

[luthor_70]

Hello,
My tv set has a native resolution of 1366x768, saddly I can't get that resolution using my HDMI cable because it only accepts 720p or 1080I standards. So when I watch a 720 lines movies my TV does an upscaling, and for a 1080, it does a downscalling .. I think Im still writting something true ?
Well here is my question : When I set up my computer for a resolution of 1280x720,the windows desktop and the movies I play don't feet the screen, and some parts are missing. I just dont understand why my TV set doesn't do a perfect upascaling ? well because it's about some mathematical problems with numbers to match a better scalling. So if I want to watch my movie displaying its full size I have to undersize but it is no more a 1280x720 movie, it becomes something like 1180x680 or so. I just find that a shame because well my TV set has 1366x768 lines !
So I was wondering if watching a 720p movie in a resolution of 1080I should no be better.
I hope you understood my question and hope you can bring me some help :=)
Thanks !

1. One should not consider converting 1080i to 768P as downscaling or 720P to 768P as upscaling. It's simply "conversion", since they are all "roughly equal".

2. There are no "rules" when it comes to TV input formats. Use the one that looks best to you after trying the available formats.

3. Based on feedback on this and other forums, most HDTVs seem to prefer a 1080i input format signal, however, as stated above, this is simply feedback and not a rule.

There are some TVs where a 1080i signal is "bobbed".
