Setting xbox display for HDTV

I have an xbox and an HDTV. How do I know if the picture I am watching is 480p, 720p or 1080i? I've set my xbox default display settings to indicate that my TV can display all of these formats, but I have no way to confirm which setting is being used at any given time.

For example, I know that Enter the Matrix can display 720p as well as 1080i, but I have no idea how to specifiy which to use in the game options.

Is the setting in the xbox' defaults, or is it in the game?

Quite frankly, the problem has never arisen before: Enter The Matrix is the only game out that supports all resolutions. Dave is correct, though, it will use the highest resolution available and supported by the game. So, in your case, Enter The Matrix will display at 1080i. If you popped in Tony Hawk 4, it would display at 720p.

Displaying in the higher resolutions is dependent on using component cables, of course. Sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious.

Dragon's Lair 3D is also 1080i
