I've just had a DVI cable from OCUK delivered and i have just plugged it into my pc and my 32" TV. It has automatically gone to 1280x720 resolution, but some of the pixels are not on my screen, it is really weird.

On the bottom and top i am missing half of the toolbars, and on the sides i am missing a bit too.

I have tried every resolution and each one doesn't fit onto the screen right. I've had this working perfectly for ages with a VGA cable.

What have i done wrong?
 
You probably need to check the overscan options in the graphics card software and adjust accordingly, done this with my HTPC via HDMI to my TV.
 
If the spec is the one in your signature, then open up the ATi Catalyst centre and click on the tab which shows your monitor and the option should be there, Sorry can't be more precise it's been a while since I looked :p

This will allow you to bring the sides in and not overhang.
 
You need to disable overscan on your TV. Find it in the options menu and set it to "0%", "100%", "Full", "Off" or something similar.

I cant find this either, on ATi Catalyst Centre, i can only change my resolution, not bring the sides in :(
 
1) ATI Catalyst toolbar icon, right click, click Catalyst Control Centre (In refuse to spell it wrong)

2) Graphics button, left click, Desktops and Display, left click, Desktop and Displays

3) Right click your TV's icon and choose Configure.

4) Go to 'scaling options' tab and move the slider, I think it'll get smaller as you tend towards underscan. I needed to move mine a couple of notches on my 1080p TV.
 
HDTVs generally only have two native resolutions: 1366x768 or 1920x1080. 1080p HDTVs should all have overscan settings (at least I've never seen one without such a thing) but since 720p HDTVs are cheaper models, they might lack this feature. If so, the only thing you can do is adjust it on your PC as Tealc says.
