Setting standard TV video resolution
If your TV is a standard definition (SD) TV, make sure 480i is the only
box checked. All other video resolutions will be output at 480i. You
can still watch HD channels and they may look considerably better
than their SD counterparts.
Setting HDTV video resolution
The media center outputs video in its native format or adjusts the
video to match your video resolution settings.
To get the most out of your HDTV, check the manual that came with it.
The manual specifies which video resolutions the TV can display. Some
TVs only display one video resolution while others can show many.
