1920x1080 and DVI isn't an option right now.
Does anyone have experience with this card? And is it possible to
get 720P or 1080i from the TV-Out?
Can you use VGA, instead?

I have an x800 which is pretty much the same card. I have not tried
getting 720p or 1080i from the TV out. However, if you have the
component out connector, normally a bright red connector provided by
ATI, it is supposed to be able to do HD. I know I hooked up the
component out connector in windows and in the ATI driver it detected
that I had an HDTV setup. I switched to DVI or vga though for this
one. On the x800 and probably x850 therefore, the 1080i looks like
crap. It was much nicer looking on my 9700pro. 720p is fine.
One thing to check, your TV might have component input for SD (for some
DVD players and such) as well as for HD, but it cares about which inputs
you use of course. If you hook your ATI component out to the component
in on your TV that can only do SD, then you aren't going to get
anywhere, and typically it would max out at 1024x768. It could be only
able to 800x600 in your tv though. On my TV the SD component in will
literally take no resolution other than 640x480 from my computer
(probably would take 720x480 didn't test). I know on my TV it has a ton
of composite, svideo, and component inputs for SD, and one component
input for HD, and it's important which component input I use. Actually
makes me wonder why the heck my TV has so many SD inputs and only two
for HD.
