    PS. it seems that NS2 can pickup custom resolutions you add (it does for geforce cards .. this I know) .. so if there was a specific resolution or a few you wanted to try out, you 'should' be able to add them to windows, and they should be picked up within NS2 as new choices for resolutions

    I don't quite get what you mean ?

    The file above is just a text file, notepad can edit it, the values you want to change are the

    <x-resolution>1024</x-resolution>
    <y-resolution>768</y-resolution>

    Change these to a value your TV supports?
