    hi there, im having problems connecting my computer to my tv.

    i connected it up, and ts running, but the resoloution is poor.

    its a 52" sony bravia. and my graphics card can support 1920 x 1200.

    but it only allows me to set it to 1360 x 768.

    any ideas on how i can change it to a bigger resoloution?

    That's the drawback of using a television as a monitor. You are restricted to the natural resolution of the television in your case 1360 x 768 because it was designed to be a tv not a monitor.

    Maybe your brothers TV is a "Full HD" set , which can handle a resolution up to 1920x1080.

    Some others, while not "full HD" can handle 1080p but downscales to 768.

    byte, using the same tv. my laptop should easily be able to handle it, and his is a lot older. no reason it shouldnt really.
