    I have an Olevia 27'' HD TV which supports up to 1366 x 768 resolution, and I have VAIO FW290 which has an ATI HD3650 video card, I am trying to connect them with an HDMI but when I try to change the resolution for the LCD TV, the best resolution that works is 1280x720. It works fine except it isn't full screen but has margins on the sides (about 1 cm), the closest resolution i can select is 1360x768 but this one looks horrible. If somebody knows how to resolve this, please let me know what I can do. Thanks

    Go into nVIDIA control panel. Find manage custom resolutions and create a custom resolution.
