Was curious what options everyone uses for the display settings on the xbox 360 for streaming. I just started to play around with the settings to see if there is any difference. What noticeable differences have you guys seen if any?

I use both component RGB 1080i and HDMI 1080i on my Xbox360s. But as far as streaming goes, the xbox360 Netflix app never gets above 720p. I have not verified, but I believe HBOGO, Showtime, Starz, etc. only stream at 720p through the xbox 360 regardless of higher display settings being available.

My screens are no bigger than 42 inches, so I really can't tell much difference between 720p and 1080i, especially for movies. Have never tried any lower HD or SD outputs from the Xbox, so I have nothing to report there as far as differences go.
