I purchased an Electron 32 TV/LCD Monitor in April from Walmart for $488. I saw that it was supposed to only do 1366x768. But I ran at a higher resolution 1600x1200 with a standard VGA adapter in/out. I did manage to get 1920x1080 with the same setup running with my onboard Intel GX31 chipset on the motherboard. Now I have installed a ATI 4550, and now my max resolution is 1600x1200 again, do I just have to use DVI or HDMI connectors to get back to 1920x1080 I also had 1920 x 1440 but the screen was of set. I love my monitor as it doubles as a TV I'd just like to get the maximum resolution I can with whatever cables I need. Also I just bought the video card on the weekend.
Your LCD TV's native resolution is 1366x768. That means the screen has an actual physical grid of thin-film transistor picture elements (the dots that make up an image) arranged in a rectangle 1366 dots wide, 768 dots tall. There is no point in trying to use resolutions higher than 1366x768 on that LCD TV, because the LCD TV will just downscale a higher resolution image to fit its 1366x768 screen. In fact, trying to display 1920x1080 on that screen will look WORSE than a 1366x768 image. The 1366x768 image needs no manipulation-- It will pixel-map 1:1 onto that 1366x768 screen. The 1920x1080 screen on the other hand will need pixel interpolation (shrink-down to 1366x768), which results in fuzziness or jaggies on the scaled-down image.
Perhaps try using standard DVI or HDMI cables and install the latest ATI drivers from the website. Also, I looked at your TV's specifications: Screen size: 32 Aspect Ratio: 16:9 Resolution: 1366 x 768 Contrast: 2500:1 Tuner: NTSC Digital Capabilities: 480i, 480p, 576i, 720i, 720p and 1080i Connections: HDMI x 2, PC, YPbPr x 2, S-Video, AV, PC Audio and RF By the looks of it, this TV only supports 1366 x 768 resolution. Any resolution that is higher is scaled down in order to accommodate it's native resolution.
