I'm using CCC and a Vizio 1080p TV monitor. CCC is set at 1920x1080, but any games running in fullscreen will not detect the native resolution. None of them display anything above 720x480. I have even tried adjusting this out of game but it defaults back to the lower resolution.

Edit: Refresh rate is at 60hz and it's connected with an hdmi cable. The tv is a VA220e

No not really, not easily anyway.

Curious thought, when reading the webpage it states that it will support those resolutions over VGA.

It may sound stupid but have you tried hooking it up via VGA and see what that gives...

A quick google search states that this monitor is 1080i/720p, if you use it as a computer monitor it will run at 720p.

I've been playing around with the ccc settings for a while and still not getting anywhere... Can you please be a bit more specific by what you are trying to say or are you stating that I was wrong in my OP?

Using the HDTV formats do not allow me access to changing the resolution while gaming, just as manually setting the resolution outside of the game does nothing to the ingame resolution
Also HDTV 720p display doesn't seem to allow more than 1280x720 res...
Either way... I'm having no issue with the display... other that one just mentioned above.

1280x720 -is- 720p, so this resolution is not unusual.

The native resolution of your panel is 1366x768 try setting this and see if it improves things.

I've set it to that res, it isn't coming up with anything above 720x480.
The only way for a game to allow a res higher than that is for it to allow windowed mode or borderless windowed... then it will actually allow the resolution that is set on CCC. Many games use a fixed windowed mode stuck at the 720x480 or do not have borderless windowed. Even after I set a resolution in the config it won't accept it.
Is there something I'm missing in CCC to force fullscreen mode to use the native or any res I set using it?

Not exactly ideal, but Thank you for the help, at least they are playable now instead of a waste of space...
Does that give any clue on what could be wrong with the hdmi connection?
