If it's a 720p TV, then converting a 720p signal to 1080i (i.e. > upscaling and interlacing it) and then downscaling and deinterlacing for > display is just plain wrong.

My CRT is 1080i native but there is no working modeline that will drive it at 1080i(confirmed by many people on the internet looking for the same thing). It will accept 720p via a modeline though, so i use that, granted the HDTV is internally scaling it to 1080i... So I could A) buy a video card with an HDTV output chip and use that B) buy a new HDTV. I'm looking to get a projector anyway and since the HDTV is one of those cheap Sanyo's Walmart had on sale a while back I'm not attached to it in any way. > > OK.
