Bad resolution connecting new PC to LG model #22LH20 TV

[hackwriter]

I have just purchased this Dell computer:

And I cannot get resolution over 1380 x 768 with my LG TV model #22LH20. I connected an HDMI cable to both ends. I am only using this monitor for this PC until I get my files transferred over and then I will connect it to a dedicated LG monitor that I'm using for my old PC. Then I will use this LG TV as a secondary monitor for my work laptop, which is a Lenovo ThinkPad. I just need to know what I need to do to get it working with the new Dell computer for now. I'm thinking perhaps there is a setting on the TV that I'm missing???

According this link

that's the maximum resolution of the TV. You can't expect more because it doesn't DO higher resolutions.

Yep.
If you care, here's a couple other tips:

1) SSD - maybe get one of these later, then CLONE your HDD to it, test and use the HDD as a backup.
- that would make the system slightly snappier and also allow the HDD to be use to store a backup IMAGE of the SSD

Cheaper ones for $50USD, though I'd get a Samsung 850 EVO 256GB for about $90.

2) Acronis True Image (or similar) to make backup images.

3) GPU - if you decide to play games then note that the one you have is okay for light gaming but beyond that you'd want a better GPU (at which point you'd likely have to replace the ATX power supply).
