No Widescreen Resolution When Computer Is Connected To TV

[coder_t2]

Hey Guys, so I just got a Samsung 37" LCD TV. However, when I connect my computer to it, I can only set it to 1024x768 resolution instead of the 1366x768 resolution that it is supposed to handle. So basically no widescreen. I have a widescreen laptop, so I am surprised it isn't automatically setting the right resolution. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

You could be limited by the TV or the Video adapter. My Sharp HDTV will only go to 1024X768. The other two TVs will go to 1920X1080 from the same computer. Check your TV manual, it might say.

Ok I figured it out. It's kind of weird to get it to the right resolution. I hook up the computer, then I have to switch the viewable ratio from 16:9 to 4:3. Then I can select 1360 by 768 as my resolution. So problem solved, yay.
