How to force 1366x720 on a Radeon 9200, 32" HDTV?

[Combat squirrel]

As title, iv tried customres, powerstrip, made a custom monitor driver in power strip for a res of 1366x720, but its just not happening

ANY ideas on how to set this res on my HTPC ? No matter what I do the closest windows allows me to change the res is 1360x768, which looks all garbled on screen, it does allow 1280x720 but again its all garbled

The Radeon 9200 is connected to the tv by DVI --> HDMI cable, works fine at lower res's (well ONLY ones where its less than 960 vertical, or 720/480 wide), the screen is DEFO a 1366x720 screen (bush LCD32TV022HD)

What's your gfx card?

Ignore, just seen in the title

Not many if any hdtv's do 1366 because it not divided by 8, and some hdtv's are funny with what res you use over hdmi as it is a hd input on mine i am lucky it will do 1360 over vga and conponent and hdmi.
But i am using nvidia so cannot check the options.

If it's garbled try disabling dvi high frequency output. Set 1360x768 and set the TV to native mode

Can you use conponent or vga to check your card and setting ? to see if 1360 x 768 will work ok through another input?.

the res of your TV is 1360 x 768 so set it to that, if it dont work properly, you have a problem with your driver settings or its your card or its your tv

At the 1360x768 res it shows the desktop in the centre ~40% of the screen with black horizontal lines moving across intermitantly, you can read it, its just all blured and with those lines, is that a to high or to low refresh rate? and you sure its a x768 vertical res ? whats the 720 in 720p refer to ? At X x 720 res it works fine and the TV's menu reports its in 720p, even though its a god aweful low horizontal res, works fine on the 360

I think I remember seeing a similar thread that said you need Powerstrip to force the resolution.

tried that, no go, what IS the correct res however? you guys 110% sure its 1360x768?

It is definitely 1366 x 768 res.

if you google it you will find everywhere listing it at that res.

I think HD ready resolutions for LCD's are 1366*168 or 1280*720 with most having the 1366*768 resolution

It depends on the TV as to whether it will work with 1368* 768 or 1360*768 (also if 50hz or 60hz). Some TVs e.g my Hitachi only works if you output 1368*768 but display 1360*768 (using front end/back end control).

Having tried a X1800 for a HPTC I can tell you ATI drivers are nothing like as friendly as nvidia drivers. You can do it via powerstrip but it is probably easier to use an nvidia card buy a 1080p TV or set it output 720P HDTV (and live with the scaling).

Seeing the grief this causes I would have though that ATI/nvidia would put in a pre-set 1360*768 TV output
