1360x768 via VGA, only 1280x720 (720p) via HDMI?

| LTV-32w6 | Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz | ASUS M2N-E | ASUS EN9800GTX+ GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB | BFG Tech BFGR650PSU 650W | Raidmax Sagitta case |

When i connect the tv/monitor via VGA (DVI to VGA adapter) i can set resolution to 1360x768 however when I connect via HDMI (DVI to HDMI adapter) I can only get 720p- is what the tv shows, 1280x720 is the highest resolution available on the display options on PC.

As my vcard has only DVI/S-vid out and my set only has vga/HDMI in, I cannot simply run an HDMI/DVI/or VGA straight from source to set. I read that DVI/HDMI adapter does not reduce quality since both signals are digital.

Why the lower res on the digital signal when it's supposed to be superior?

Update:

native resolution of LCD TV is 1366x768

    Three things you can try:

    - Under Windows' Display Settings, click on Advanced Settings, go to the Monitor tab, and see if "Hide modes this monitor cannot display" is checked. If it is, uncheck it and see if it frees up the 1366x768 display modes.

    - Make sure you are not using refresh rates the TV cannot support.

    - Under nVidia's drivers, maybe try "force TV detection" and see if it can detect the display modes it will support.

    Good luck.

    Ordenadores para trabajar o para jugar, simples o muy avanzados, siempre a los mejores precios en los sitios internet, mi viejo ordenador, también comprado en los sitios internet me gustaba mucho pero necesitaba algo más eficiente y más silencioso, el ordenador que compre cumple todas mis expectativas, además de ser muy rápido, con una buena capacidad de almacenaje, es increíblemente silencioso, lo he probado por l. a. noche, en un silencio complete y ni no parecía que estaba funcionando, una excelente compra.
