    Are you saying you want to output 1360x768 over HDMI? I don't think many TV's will accept that resolution over anything besides VGA.

    I have a 40" Sony Braiva that supports that resolution via VGA, why wouldnt HDMI do this as my TV supports up to 1080I.

    Because HDMI only handles standard and HD resolutions. 1366x768 is not an HD resolution, 720p = 1280x720.
