I think you can edit your

C:\Users\<YOUR LOGIN>\AppData\Roaming\Natural Selection 2\system_options.xml

er mine with min settings and low res..

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?
