macbook connect to hdtv

[MichaelHo]

Have just bought a mini dvi to vga adaptor to connect my macbook to my HDTV, the res of the tv is 1366 x 768 but the closest res to this that the macbook can output is 1280 x 768.
Has anyone managed to output 1366 x 768 with their macbook?

Thanks for the replies, the restart did the trick, it even detected that it was a sony tv! amazing lol.

ive read the manual and there dont seem to be a way that i can use the tv without having the laptop screen off.

is there a way that i can turn off the macbook screen and only keep on the hdtv screen?
