1920 x 1080 is it that simple?


I have a quick question. I would like to try using the new T2 dvd (coming June 3 http://www.wmvhd.com/ ) that has the wmvhd disk on my RPTV. I would be using my laptop as the player. I would get a cable to go from the svga to the Y Pb Pr input on my set. That input is 1080i. My video card will do 1920 x 1080. Will that resoulution be correct? The reason I ask is I have seen others talking about using Powerstrip. Why would they use that if you can just get a vid card that does 1920 x 1080? If you are wondering my laptop is a Sager 8887. ATI Radeon 9000, 128 meg ddr vidio ram. 2.4 Ghz. 512 megs ram. It is a P4 (not mobile). So computer power should not be an issue. I also have a digital audio out, 5.1. I would Just like to give it a try to see how good it looks. Just need to know if I need to "resize" the screen with Powerstrip. If I get good results I plan on building a HTPC later. Hope I was clear. T.I.A.
