Possible to set 1080i in Windows?

[MoNkeE]

Hey all,

Is it possible to set my resolution for when using windows to 1080i? I'd like to be able to use 1920x1080i in Windows (higher resolution) but 1360x768 when gaming. Is there a way of forcing it?

I've been able to set the resolution to 1920x1080, but when I do, I have to pan the screen to view off-screen parts. Basically, it's zoomed in, rather than spanning to fill the screen!

Cheers,

sounds like the screen your using doesn;t have a native rez of 1080p

more than likely its the drivers not havnt the correct info to drive a 1080i resolution. you'll probably have to use something like powerstrip to set it up, if the card can output 1080i at all

Why would you want to? Interlaced modes are terrible for reading text, even 1080i on a 1080 line panel.

it is? 1080i was fine on my 40w2000. too damn small but it was clear enough. i had ghosting issues but that was down to using 10ms of cheap rca cable rather than anything else.

Looks pretty horrible for me!

And if he doesn't have a 1080 line set it would make no sense at all.
