Hi.

First question: Erm... leave it alone! Don't adjust the resolution. A DV camera captures at the optimum resolution for TVs. I'm not sure why you're asking this question, so maybe i'm misunderstanding you?

It all depends on how good your TV is. Low resolution TV can't display High Definition any better than normal low res. Normal TVs have a picture quality measured in lines of resolution, color liniarity, saturation and contrast ratio.

A good TV can usually manage 400 lines of resolution, a computer monitor can manage a great deal more, 1024 is average. There are some highly technical reasons TV resolution is so low, so getting your video to look 'sharper' will be difficult. Also the luminance and color depth may be limited in the TV as well, again due to technical reasons.

The only way your video will look as good as on your computer screen will be if you get a High Definition TV set.
