I could believe that because of some implementation detail of hardware scaling (which is not very high quality, at least in my GF440MMX -- it's about the same quality as my settop DVD player) it ends up looking better when the card is run at 1024x768. (Possibly there are separate paths for video overlay scaling and scaling for tv-output, and the latter is better quality.) But I simply can't fathom why that would yield better quality than running a card at 640x480 (on NTSC) and using software scaling (bicubic interpolation or possibly lanczos). In fact if anyone claims otherwise I'll simply refuse to believe it until I get a good explanation. :) Jason. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
