    Your computer is set to expand the desktop onto the TV. If you want to just use the TV as your monitor, you need to go into your display properties and set it to have the TV as your main monitor and uncheck extend my display onto this monitor. Then, unless it does it automatically, set your resolution to 1366x7xx. That is the native resolution of 720p.
