There isn't an option for 60hz either. It's a pretty crap TV. I blew all my money getting the computer. I hope to buy a proper monitor soon. if your TV doesnt have an option for 1080p@60hz that either means that it's a 720p set (rendering at 1080p on it for desktop is a really bad idea) or that you've got it connected some weird way. how are you connecting the TV, HDMI or DVI? open Nvidia Control Panel (you can just right click the desktop to get to it.) Under Display on the left, select "Change resolution." On the right hand side select "Customize." Tick the box that says "Enable resolutions not exposed by display." If there's one on the list that says 1920x1080 at 60hz tick it to enable it. If there isn't, select "Create Custom Resolution." Set: Horizontal pixels: 1920
Vertical lines: 1080
Refresh rate: 60
Color Depth: 32
Scan type: Progressive
Then select test. If it works, you're golden. Apply, save all that. Keep clicking "Ok" until you're back to the main control panel screen. Now select 1920x1080 on the list, on the right hand side set refresh rate to 60, then hit apply. You should be at 60hz at 1080p now.

I have a Compaq with a Pentium III processor and 256mb of RAM. I recently upgraded my video card to utilize my AGP expansion SLOT.

I used to use it for my 360, and it only work ed up to 1080i on that... I'll fiddle with the settings you mentioned tomorrow...

That should be it's native res and what you should probably play at if you want it to look at it's best.

If your TV is interlaced and not progressive then use interlaced and not progressive

oh alright so if it's displaying at 1080p at 60hz and looks normal then you probably do have a 1080p tv duder.
