My tv- HPS4233

Ok so I'll start at the beginning. Ever since I had my set I've been using it to display 1280x720 from my laptops and xbox. I had some issues with blue particles on the display so I had it fixed. They replaced a few things and it went away. I was subsequently disturbed to find that when I tired to select my resolution in the Display Properties of my laptop that only 640x480 and 1024x768 were available!

I called Samsung back to complain and now they are trying to claim that my TV only supports 1024x768 through VGA! I know this is bullshhh because I used other resolutions before!

Is it possible that my TV only supports standard def though VGA? If so, how could I have gotten it in the first place? Is there anything I can do? Please help if you can. Thank you.

Your display has a native XGA (1024x768) resolution, there will be no benefit provided to you should you receive a signal of 1280x720. Your HDTV will scale the image back to an XGA resolution no matter what you send it, which is what is happening when your 360 is set to 720p.
