I got a question. What is a better resolution, 720 or 768? I been playing on my monitor, and I been hearing that 720 is a better resolution compared to 768. As simple minded as I am, I thought maybe 768 would be a better resolution thinking that there are more lines. My monitor resolution is 1440x900. I usually play on 1280x768. I wanted to know if it would be better to play on 720, or if the better resolution is indeed 768. Thanksjay_k3your simple mind was correct. you have a 4:3 monitor, not a 16:9 (widescreen). 720p is a wide screen hdtv option.   since you arent wide screen you chose the better option for your screen.

Where do you get 4:3 for his monitor when he said it's 1440*900, that's 16:10, still widescreen, just slightly less wide than 16:9.

He should just use 1360*768 that the 360 gives with VGA, sadly it doesn't give exactly 1366*768. But overall there is no difference since the 360 renders first at 720p and then upscales, so 768p is no better except the 360 might upscale better to that than your monitor does.Â
