PC to HDTV

[audio amateur]

I am guessing my video card can support HD since I have few videos on my hard drive (not porn ) that have 1280 x 720 and 1920 x 1080 resoution and it play them fine. I am surprise that my monitor can display 1080 format since monitor resolution does not have 1980 x 1080 resolution setting. I am guessing that Window7 resize the resolution for monitor setting.

That only means that your processor can keep up with HD video content. It does not mean your video card has the ability to output 720 or 1080. Indeed, it's simply downscaling the HD content to whatever res the video card sends to the monitor. Could you give us a few details on the type of comp you have? Also, is your current monitor widescreen or not?

Thanks audio amateur

The comp I'm using is this Compaq......

And the monitor is 17 inch CRT 4:3 type (Compaq FS7600).

I change monitor resolution to lower settings (960 x600 and 800 x 600), and it still display 720 and 1080 videos. So you are probably right that CP down size resolution to match the monitor.
