I just got an HDMI cable for my 360. I've been having two problems and need serious help with them. First of all, i dont know which HDTV setting to put. I can hold up to 1080i since my T.V's a 19 inch 720p. I'm not sure if i should put 1080i, or 720p. My second problem is that i dont know which one i should choose out of "Standard, Intermediate, or Epanded." If this would help, heres what T.V i have. Help would be greatly appreciated.

if you have a 19 inch HDTV, you would not be able to see a difference between 720p or 1080p !!!...it takes a 40inch plus HDTV to be able to see the difference... so stick with 720p

i'm not sure about your second question

What are you talking about? its all about resolutions, and if your monitor can handle it, 1080 and 720 and anything inbetween is definitely possible.

I personally like to use expanded, but I think its all about personal preferance. Pick a game, and compare the results. Choose whatever setting puts out the image you like the best :]

If you have a 720p HDTV, have your 360 output 720p. There is zero reason to output 1080i since your HDTV would just have to convert it to 720p to display anyway.

As to that other setting, just leave it at whatever the default is.
