I got my new gaming pc today and I got myself a dvi to vga adapter. I connected it all up and it is only letting me use the resolution to the lowest and to 1600x1200 when my computer can support up to 1900x1200. My monitor is 24 inches.

What adapter did you purchase? If it's a passive one it should work just fine, but you may have to download and install monitor drivers if it's a particularly old display.

You should use the native resolution of the TV, like 720p, 1366*768 or 1920*1080...
never seen a tv with 1900*1200 res...

If it's a TV it may not have an EDID block to describe itself to the video source.
