Okay, so I have my computer hooked up to my sony hdtv through the ati dvi to component video adapter. The highest resolution I can get without the boarders going off of the screen is 1776 x 1000 30hz interlaced. Now I understand the 30hz interlace part, but why do the boarders go off of the screen at 1920 x 1080 30hz interlaced? Isn't 1920 x 1080 30hz what they call 1080i? Not that it really matters too much, (1776 x 1000 is a pretty sweet resolution at 50 inches), just kind of curius.

1920x1080 is 1080i yes.
I have no idea about why you are having problems with the borders though... it's probably because your TV isn't supposed to do that resolution.
 
strange, i reckon your tv wont support that resolution. i thought hdtv was either 720 or the higher 1080 so maybe yours only supports the lower one which is still a bloody good res if you ask me. Doesnt the 1080i flicker too much for your eyes on that tv?
 
It did when i had it connected through the dvi cable, but with the dvi to component adapter it's really pretty good, hl2 looks amazing
