I just built my first new gaming PC, I have everything but the graphics card, (Maybe that has something to do with it?) and everything is working properly, BUT... I am using a Emerson 32" 720p LCD TV for my monitor, and so my resolution should be 1280x720 right? Wrong, that resolution is too large for some reason, and so I messed with resolutions for a minute, and I am using 1360x768. Everything looks good and appears to be right on that resolution, but if my native resolution is 1280x720 then why is it higher? Just wondering. Thanks.
