Can I output HD video to my HDTV through my laptop's vga output?

I have a 5 year old HP Pavilion zv6000 (2Ghz, 2 gb ram) with an ati xpress 200m card, with windows xp and 7 x64 (works great.) I have an HDTV (Sony Bravia 40"), which is full HD (1920x1080). I use a vga cable to connect my laptop's video out to the hdtv's vga in, then i can use the pc mode. I get a max resolution of 1360x768. That is the problem. Can't i get a max res of 1920x1080 from my laptop, since the tv is full hd (not hd compatible, full hd). There could be a few reasons for this:

1. My ati xpress 200m can't go that high (i doubt this because it can do dual images with 1280x800 on both monitors, and 1360x768 with the tv alone (only becuase my laptop's monitor is only 1280x800). What i'm saying is that it could easily output hd if it wasn't disabled or unsupported. If it is, please tell me.

2. The pc mode might not support more than 1360x768. (Though i feel that can't be. Come on, a good hdtv doesn't limit that.)

3. The tv might have some settings to limit the resolution it displays that it supports.



Please, someone, check the documentation for the laptop and the tv (i can't find them), and tell me what the problem is. Thanks. (also, don't worry about the performance or quality of the image i might get, just the resolution.)|||You can, but it wont look as good as hdmi or dvi. Sometimes your tv will limit the resolution because it knows if you try to push a 1080p signal through a vga cable its gonna look like crap. I think its limited around 720 if it is at all.|||Actually as we all know



0=0

so

1=1

so

n=n

I think you are understanding what i want to say

And so

Cat = great

great = someone

someone=emperor

emperor=ashish

Vinay not equal to Ashish

So Vinay is not the emperor|||VGA does not support HD resolutions.
