Technical Questions

[Talgion Cheeseliker]

To start off on a different tangent, if any of you were wondering where I've been, I finally bought myself a 360 roughly two-ish weeks ago (I believe. Got it at a pawn shop for $125), and having been playing the shit out of that. Several days after purchasing my 360, I went out and got a 27" widescreen 1080p TV monitor (and the picture is fucking NICE). And I know that I can plug my laptop into my monitor with an HDMI cable, and I just fiddled around a little bit with that today. I have a dilemma though... I normally play Warband on a 1024x720 (I believe) resolution, which makes it look good without looking funny, and the frame rate is normal (my laptop default desktop resolution is 1366x768). However, when I have my laptop plugged into my monitor and boot up Warband, at 1024x720, the frame rate is fine, but the picture quality is utter shit. However, if I set the resolution to "Desktop Default" which, in this case, is 1920x1080, the picture is pretty damn good (as Warband will graphically allow), but it lags like mad.

My question is this: what resolution should I set Warband to when I plug my laptop into my TV monitor so that it runs at a normal frame rate but gives me the best quality of picture?
