So I have this tv as a computer monitor:
http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/sanyo-dp32746/4507-6482_7-32013586.html

Andit says its resolution is 1366x768 so when I went in to set it as that its not an option. It goes from 1280x1024 to 1400x1050. So how can I Set it at the needed resolution if its not needed?

(Also I dont know if its worth mentioning but its a 720p tv and the reccomened resolution on windows is 1920x1080)

Thanks in advance for the help.

To be fair your TV has a pretty muddy resolution, so even if you do get it to be 1366x768 at 32" you have very large pixels and image quality is going to suffer. The norm right now for computer monitors is 1920x1080 at around 20 or so inches i.e. much smaller pixels and a better image.

How are you physically connected to the HDTV (VGA, HDMI, DVI, etc)?

Are you also connected to a second display?

A simple way to often fix this (with the HDTV connected to the PC) is to reload your video card/GPU drivers. This will re-detect the connected displays and should make the desired resolution available to you.

What video card are you using on what operating system?

I would look in the manual that came with the TV and see what it says about connecting the TV up as a monitor. Not all TVs are made so that they cooperate well with computers. Also what kind of cable are you using to connect the TV to your computer, what choices do you have?
