HD on PC question

I have the ATI HDTV card for my computer. I am awaiting a better antenna so I havent tried it yet.

BUT i was wondering if I have to setup my display settings on my "display preferences" in windows to 1920 x ??? in order to have that 1080i resolution on my monitor..or will it adjust itself and do everything on its own.

Also, my display actually only lets me set it as high as 1600 x ?? ..does this mean I wont get true 1080i even if my monitor supports it?

Thank you

I have a 19" Dell Trinitron Monitor from around 2001.

My video card is an Nvidia Geforce2 Ultra 64MB from around the same time.

Ok, I'm not sure if your monitor would support the required resolutions.. (ie, 1920x1080) in fact, I more then doubt it, because you will have a 4:3 monitor...

No, you won't get 1080i. Your monitor just doesn't support it. You'd need Powerstrip as well, but I wouldn't cook your monitor trying it

Well, my monitor I remember will do 1920x1080, but in my display settings it wont let me go past 1600x. I think this is because of my video card.

Also, a lot of programming I will be watchin is 4x3 (television), so will I be able to receive that?

Im using a UHF antenna with the ATI HDTV WOnder card.

And what do you mean by powerstrip? Burnout my monitor?
