Xbox 360 on a 1366x768 LCD HDTV

This isn't really computer related per se, unless you consider the xbox 360 to be a computer (which it kind of is). However the TV uses an LCD panel, so I decided to post my question here.

So the native resolution on this TV is actually a "768p" I guess you would call it. However, the xbox 360 only allows me to send either a 720p or 1080i signal to the TV. Which is the better way to go here? I suppose I need to pick the lesser of two evils.

Is it better to send to little pixels and have it stretched out to fill the screen, or too many pixels and have it squished to fit the screen? Either way the aspect ratio looks fine; there's no distortion. I'm just wondering what the best choice is here for piece of mind (since my eyes can't really tell the difference lol).

Is it better to send a progressive or interlaced signal in this case?

From my experience with xbox, I assumed there was no difference between 720p and 1080i. Read the same also. Anyways my kill rate remained static.

I'd say 720p. But since you already have both the xbox and the TV, why don't you just try it out and see which one is better? I'm pretty sure there's no real difference.

the 1080i signal is better, but your tv will rescale it to 720p basically. its still probably better off at 1080i, but the scaling could introduce some lag in theory.
