1920x1080 in desktop setup is 1080 PROGRESSIVE (depending on refresh/sync rate of course), your videocard needs to support interlaced resolutions and you need to know how to hack it to use them (which powerstrip makes easy, thus everyone uses it).

Plus, your TV will have considerable overscan (you probably won't, for example, be able to even see the toolbar at the bottom of a windows desktop)-- powerstrip lets you tweak with the front/back porch sync settings to get more screen out of your screen.

So, in short, no it's not that simple.
