I just got this 37" HDTV.
http://www.sharpusa.com/products/ModelLanding/0,1058,1796,00.html

Hooked my 8800GTS to the PC input slot on the TV.
DVI on back video card to VGA PC input on TV.

In Windows the max res I can select is 1320x760 (something like that) but it looks weird. 1024x768 only looks "right".

I would of thought a 37" could do 1920x1900. I am confused right now.

What can I do? Something with aspect ratio?
 
You've purchased a 720P monitor. The monitor only has 1366x768 pixels. So that will be your res.

Televesion sets aren't really that great for computer monitors unless you are sitting pretty far back. They aren't meant for close up solutions. A 1080p set would be better since it can reach the 1920 resolution. Therefore it would make it a good use for pc monitors. But 720p sets aren't that great for computer use.

Also considering how big it is...a 37 incher with only that many pixels...It's just too big of a dot pitch imo. I'd return it and get something smaller...or invest in a good 1080p monitor.

What else can you do? nothing. That's the max res and you can't do anything about it. Either set the monitor far back so you don't notice it. Or return it and get a high quality computer monitor or a 1080p set. The bigger the monitor the bigger the dot pitch. Which means the bigger the pixels. The bigger the pixels sacrifices sharpnss at close view. Choice is yours....
 
No, it accepts 1080i input, It physically has a resolution of 1366x768 pixels.
