My HDTV supports upto 1080i - can I safely force to 1080p?

???

You can't display 1080p on a 1080i TV. Most 1080i TV now have 720p which means 1280x720 lines so you can't force 1920x1080 onto a smaller screen. It's like trying to display 1440x900 on a laptop that only outputs 1280x800 it just won't work. Sorry.

You have a snowballs chance in hell of forcing a 1080i TV into 1080P, it just doesn't have the resolution/pixels to do so :(

What TV do you have? Even though my TV is 720p it will accept a 1080p signal (most won't) and the display info shows its 1920x1080p. I know its not actual 1080p but it looks better than 720p anyway.

Confused. Is 1080i better than 720p?

Not really for gaming. For Film/Movie watching maybe.

Very few games may run better in 1080i, but the main reason a game would have 1080i is if your TV didn't support 720p.

Run games in 720p/1080p.

I can tell the difference between 1080i and 720p.

It's much sharper in 720p.

depends on the TV i guess, i have a pioneer 427 and 1080i looks better than 720p for some reason, even in gaming...
