HD ultra high 720p

What will happen if I run 1280x720p movie on 47 inch 1920x1080 will it look pexiladed. How to tell if your graphics card supports 1080p? I have xfx 9600 gso it says that it doesn't support it, but isn't 1920x1080 resolution is 1080p. If I'm playing a game on 1920x1080 res does it mean I'm playing it on HD 1080p?

What monitor are you using?

1) If the resolution you're using is not the monitor's native resolution, the image will look fuzzy (so, if you play a game at a resolution other than at your monitor's native resolution, it will look fuzzy)

2) Your video player will scale up the video when it's full screen. Will you notice a loss in quality? Probably not.

3) Your video card's specs will only list the resolutions it can support, not the video formats. So, if it supports 1920x1080, it will say 1920x1080 and not 1080p.
