I have a custom desktop using a 32" lcd tv as a monitor. When I use the standard vga port, 1366 x 768 is the biggest it will go. When I use the hdmi port, it will go bigger but will look very blurry and doesn't look as clean. Is there a way to manually add resolutions using vga and get them to look clean like the recommended resolution is?
thanks
Tv: sharp 32" lcd 720p 60 hz

Gpu: nvidia gtx 560 ti

^your TV has a maximum resolution of 1366x768. there is nothing wrong with your GPU. as you found out, you can set it higher but it will be blurry as there are not enough pixels on the tv screen for a higher resolution. if you want higher resolutions go buy a computer monitor ( or I suppose a 1080p TV)

I tried manually configuring in nvidia control panel, and when I set a higher resolution, it gave me a message saying "this resolution is not supported by your graphics card" I thought an gtx 560 ti could go up to 1920 x 1080?
