story goes thus, i currently have a crt monitor. awesome eh?

well, no. i today picked up a dvi-hdmi cable to use my hdtv as a secondary monitor. little did i realise that the resolutions had to match both the monitor and the tv.

MELTDOWN!

therefore, it is apparent that i need a decent flat screen lcd monitor that is capable of doing 1360x768 resolution. or more? probs.

i don't really play pc games any more thanks to my xbox360, but it would be nice if it wasn't ultra crap.

i am on an ultra tight budget, like maybe 150/160 quid, although i could probably stretch it A LITTLE.

17" or bigger.

unless someone can tell me how to make this **** work without buying a new monitor?

There are no LCD monitors that have a native res of 1360x768, and thats a 16:9 aspect ratio, widescreen PC monitors are 16:10 aspect ratio. So even if you did use that res on a PC monitor things would be a little squished up horizontally.

But why do you have to have both screens the same res anyway?
 
because i can't seem to set the tv at 1360x768 and the monitor at 1280x1024.

that would be perrrfect.
