I just bought a small tv monitor, 26", that takes s vid, rgb, hdmi, all
that. but i hooked up rgb to the monitor, and running from an ati radeon
x1200, using their designated Catalyst Control Center, it would not let
me use a higher resoltuion than 1360x768, there is also a 1280x1024
resolution. there are a few, and i mean a few, more, but they are all
lower resolutions than that. i was eventually able to force it to allow
me to use 1400x1050 and 1920x1080, by unchecking the box that hid
"resolutions that the monitor could not display". but even still, these
resolutions are horrible, the 1920x1080 is unstable with this monitor,
and the 1400x1050 is more stretched out on the screen. so everything
looks short and stubby. is there anyway i could get a better resoltuion
for this 26" screen?

the 1920x1080 only becomes unstable when i mess with the
horizontal/vertical stretches. otherwise it is fine, but the images
aren't very nicely contrasted and sharp. it is a decent resolution
though. is there anyway to get a better resolution, maybe a little
lower, like 1600x(?) or something, or to sharpen this image.

What is the native resolution of the monitor?
Does the Monitor's manual state that it will take 1920x1080 over HDMI? If
yes does it take either 1920x1080p/60 or 1920x1080i/60 and if using HDMI
which resolution are you trying to send?
If the monitor has a standard VGA PC monitor interface I suggest that you
use it with the native resolution of the monitor.

You've ran into the EDID restrictions. Many tv manufacturers are
providing limited resolutions. Some people are pulling VGA pin 12 that
reads the EDID info allowing a software resolution setup. Please search
Google for EDID info because I have not yet tried it.
