1440 X 900 Dell 19 inch Monitor on PS3?

May be...

hi guys i have a dell 19 inch E1909W monitor and planing to use it on my ps3..since it's maximum resolution of my monitor is 1440 X 900, can i set my display settings to 1080i?..

You can set the output to 1080i but be aware that there are only 900 pixels. the last 180 are not going to have anywhere on the screen real estate to be displayed. You may want to try the 720p setting. Most of the games display in that format anyway. All monitors/TV scale to the resolution of the pixels that they have available.



CNET Quote:"If the incoming source has more pixels than the display's native resolution, you will lose some visible detail and sharpness, though often what you're left with still looks great. If the incoming source has fewer pixels than the native resolution, you're not getting any extra sharpness from the television's pixels."



As a side note there are a plethora of arguments over what produces a better picture 720proggressive or 1080interlaced. At a 19" screen size I promise you will not be able to discern a difference. In fact CNET.com put folks in a room with 55" TV's and most of them could not see any discernible difference between 720p and 1080p!
